Attitudes of medical doctors, nurses and paramedics towards death.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Introduction: The phenomenon and experience of death are fundamental aspects of human existence, explored and presented across diverse contexts. The issue of attitudes to death is a very important element in the interactions taking place between medical personnel and patients. The aim of this study was to provide an insight into the attitudes of doctors, nurses and paramedics towards death. Method: The study was conducted using the Questionnaire of Attitudes Towards Death, which was completed by 320 respondents. Results: Results from the survey show that the most concrete existential and spiritual attitudes towards death are presented by paramedics compared to the group of medical doctors and nurses. Conclusion: The problem described is part of a broad discussion on attitudes to death and provides an opportunity for reflection on this phenomenon, especially in the perspective of modern medical technologies, which in many situations limit interactions with patients. Our findings suggest that professional role significantly shapes these attitudes, with paramedics exhibiting the strongest spiritual and escape-oriented acceptance, while physicians demonstrate the most detached perspective.
