Family expectations of grief care from home health nurses: a scoping review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. 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
introductionIn preparation for becoming a super-aged society with high mortality, Japan is strengthening its comprehensive community care systems and promoting end-of-life care at home. Many nurses realise that providing grief care to families experiencing loss and bereavement is important, but several studies have identified a lack of competence when specialised care is provided to families in need. The aim of this study is to systematically review research on grief care to target families utilising home nursing services in Japan and to identify methods of care that have been published and research that has been reported in the Japanese literature. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This scoping review will follow the Arksey and O'Malley methodology framework. An exploratory review of the literature on grief care in home healthcare will help to clarify the research question (step 1). A broad range of electronic databases (ICHUSHI-Web, PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL/EBSCO and SCOPUS) and search terms will be used to retrieve relevant articles published between 1983 and 2024 (step 2). Studies are systematically selected by two independent reviewers based on eligibility criteria (step 3). The title and abstract are scrutinised to determine if the article meets the eligibility criteria. Full-text screening is then conducted to retrieve only relevant publications. Data are then extracted, collated and charted (step 4), and a summary of the aggregate results is presented (step 5). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This scoping review will collect data from publicly available sources and will not require ethics review. Once data collection and summarisation are complete, the results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, and the key findings of the review will be presented at relevant conferences.
