Helping the helpers: mental wellbeing of the funeral professional.
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: This study aimed to understand the mental health challenges experienced by funeral professionals, in particular exposure to suicide. Additionally, we sought to understand what training related to suicide, suicide loss, and supporting individuals is acceptable to those in the profession. Methods: We developed a semi-structured interview guide with open-ended questions allowing for probing and additional follow-up inquiry. The main questions focused on three topic areas: (1) professional experience, (2) risk and protective factors of profession, and (3) exposure to suicide. Results: Through semi-structured interviews, four themes emerged: help-seeking, exposure to traumatic losses, value and limitations of peer support, and recommendations related to policy, culture, and training. Discussion: The study highlights the unique experiences and needs of funeral professionals that are often overlooked within discussions of vicarious trauma for first responder professions.
