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 investigate ego integrity, readiness for death, and preferences of care near the end-of-life among hospitalized older adults in long-term care hospitals and identify factors that influence end-of-life care preference. Methods: A total of 181 older adults in long-term care hospitals participated in the study, and data collection was conducted from July 20th, 2020 to September 20th, 2020. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlations, and multiple regression were used for data analysis. Results: The older adults in hospitalized in long-term care hospitals preferred pain management even at the risk of hastened death, while the least preferred option was autonomous decision-making, including artificially prolonging human life. Regarding end-of-life care preferences, ego-integrity (β.18, Conclusion: Although ego integrity and readiness for death did not affect all areas of end-of-life care preference among older adults in long-term care hospitals, they represent significant variables denoting positive acceptance of death and life satisfaction. As such, it is necessary to provide various opportunities for these factors to be considered in the overall process of aging. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that other variables can influence each subdomain of end-of-life care preference. Therefore, nurses should support hospitalized older adults in receiving end-of-life care according to their preferred domains.
