[A ritual for humanity in intensive care units : A moment of silence and its possible effects].
Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 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
Dealing with dying and death is an integral part of working in an intensive care unit, yet time pressure and workload often leave little room for emotional processing. A shared moment of silence offers intensive care staff the opportunity to pause after a patient's death, to uphold dignity, and to foster team reflection. This article explores the origin and significance of the ritual, summarizes the current evidence, and provides practical recommendations for its implementation-including appropriate language, involvement of relatives, framework conditions, and evaluation. The moment of silence does not replace structural support measures (e.g., supervision or ethical consultations) but can serve as a meaningful complement to them.
