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
Purpose: This study aimed to explore home-based hospice nurses' end-of-life care experiences and elucidate the nature and meaning of end-of-life care. This study aimed to enhance the understanding of nurses' role identity and provide basic data to improve the quality of home-based hospice care. Methods: The collected data were analyzed using Giorgi's phenomenological. The participants were 11 nurses working at a home-based hospice facility in Seoul and the surrounding metropolitan area selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected from August to November 2024 through semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews, each lasting an average of 64 minutes. Interviews were recorded and transcribed with the participants' consent, resulting in 267 pages of data. The collected data were analyzed using Giorgi's phenomenological method. Results: The analysis revealed four thematic categories, "Practicing emotional care," "Burden and burnout of professional life," "Rediscovering the meaning of existence" and "Awareness of sustainable care systems." Home-based hospice nurses supported patients and their families in accepting death and forming emotional bonds. They also experienced both burnout and fulfillment during the repetitive process of providing end-of-life care. Furthermore, they achieved personal and professional growth through reflection on life and death but recognized structural limitations such as a lack of staff and inadequate institutional support. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that end-of-life care provided by home-based hospice nurses extends beyond simple physical care to include emotional and spiritual support, demonstrating the need for institutionalization, strengthening the educational foundation, and establishing a practical support system.
