Islamic Conceptions of Human Dignity and Their Relevance for Bioethics of End-of-Life Healthcare.
Article in Journal of bioethical inquiry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper addresses bioethical considerations in end-of-life healthcare. It explores Islamic bioethical concepts of karāma and ḥurma, framing them as homeomorphic equivalents to categories of human dignity in Western bioethics. Karāma refers to the inherent honour bestowed by God upon every human being, as distinct from honour as a component that can be accrued; ḥurma signifies the inviolability and sanctity of the human body. The two concepts are related and when combined can be mapped onto Sulmasy's categorizations of intrinsic and attributed dignity. The third category proposed by Sulmasy, inflorescent dignity-human grace and virtue expressed in observable behaviour-is demonstrated through the historical narrations of how Prophet Muhammad faced his last days. The paper notes how these Islamically-grounded notions of dignity are reflected in empirical studies of Muslim populations and uses a case scenario to demonstrate how they can manifest in end-of-life care decisions for Muslim populations.
