End-of-life care knowledge and attitude in managing dying patients among healthcare workers in the emergency department.
Article in Turkish journal of emergency medicine. 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
objectiveEnd-of-life care (EOLC) in the emergency department (ED) is a growing global necessity. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes toward EOLC among ED healthcare workers.
methodsA prospective and cross-sectional study was conducted involving 155 healthcare workers at a tertiary ED. The Palliative Care Knowledge Tool (PCKT) and the Frommelt Attitude toward Care of the Dying (FATCOD) Scale were adapted, translated into Malay, and validated for use. Participants completed validated, self-administered questionnaires assessing knowledge using FATCOD the PCKT and attitudes toward EOLC using the FATCOD Scale. The primary outcomes were the healthcare workers' knowledge and attitudes, with secondary analysis exploring associated factors.
resultsThe overall level of knowledge on EOLC among healthcare workers was poor with a mean score of 8.54 (±2.97) out of 17. Despite this, attitudes toward EOLC were positive with a mean score of 92.61 (±8.80) out of 120. A weak positive correlation was found between knowledge and attitudes (
conclusionThis study revealed that despite poor knowledge of EOLC among healthcare workers in the ED, their attitudes toward managing dying patients were positive. The weak correlation between knowledge and attitudes suggests a modest link between these domains.
