Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundCancer is a fatal disease that is increasing in frequency and requires long-term treatment and care. Nurses frequently encounter dying cancer patients in hospitals, especially in oncology and palliative care clinics, and provide care to these patients and their families. PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the “Nursing Care and Difficulties in Cancer Patients’ Training” provided to nurses on the quality of nursing care and the difficulties experienced by nurses.
methodThe study was conducted with nurses working in hospitals with oncology and palliative care clinics in Adana between November 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. The sample consisted of 52 nurses. Ethics committee approval, permission from the hospitals, and informed consent from the participants were obtained. Data were collected with the Nurse Introduction Form, the Nursing Care Scale for Dying Patients and Their Families and the Nurse Difficulty Scale for Dying Patients and Their Families. Analyses were performed with IBM SPSS V25 Software and R Studio.
findingsIn the study, the characteristics of the participants in the experimental and control groups were similar except for the length of time they had worked in the profession. The interaction of the length of time as a covariate with time and its overall effect were insignificant (p > 0.000 and p > 0.000). The total mean score of the nurses on the Nursing Care Scale for Dying Patients and Their Families pre-test was 42.38 ± 4.78 and the mean score on the post-test was 52 ± 3.7. There is a statistically significant difference between the total mean scores of the the Nursing Care Scale for Dying Patients and Their Families and post-test (p < 0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the groups (ATS = 10.8, p < 0.002). The effect size (ηp²=0.181) was moderate. The total mean score on the Nurse Difficulty Scale for Dying Patients and Their Families pre-test was 31.63 ± 6.1, and the mean score on the post-test was 21.2 ± 6.2. There is a statistically significant difference between the total mean scores of the the Nurse Difficulty Scale for Dying Patients and Their Families pre- and post-test (p < 0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the groups (WTS = 8.10, p*= 0.004). The effect size (r = 0.345) was moderate.
conclusionIt was determined that the “Nursing Care and Difficulties in Cancer Patients’ Training” given to the nurses increased the quality of care given by the nurses to dying cancer patients and reduced the difficulties they experienced. In line with these results; it is recommended that training be provided to improve the quality of care for dying cancer patients and to reduce the difficulties experienced in formal and nursing education.
