Ethnicity and awareness, knowledge, and trust in palliative and end-of-life care: Analysis of a nationally representative survey.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: Ethnic inequalities in palliative and end-of-life care are well documented but poorly understood. The study aims to examine awareness, knowledge and trust in palliative care, by ethnicity. Methods: Online cross-sectional survey of 2,164 adults living in the UK (2024). Poisson regression models assessed associations between ethnicity and awareness and knowledge of palliative care, and trust in healthcare professionals to provide high-quality end-of-life care. Results: Regression results reveal that, compared to White British people, people of Asian ethnicity and those of Black, Caribbean or African ethnicity were less likely to: be aware of palliative care; have correct knowledge of palliative care; and trust healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality end-of-life care. Conclusion: Lower awareness, knowledge and trust in palliative care may partly explain ethnic inequalities in access to services. Understanding the views and needs of minoritised ethnic groups, and building trust and knowledge about palliative and end-of-life care, should be prioritised.
