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
backgroundLast Aid Courses (LACs) for the public aim to enhance the public discussion about dying, death and grief and to increase the awareness for palliative care throughout the whole society. Based on the wishes and needs of professionals from health and social care and results from previous studies on LACs, a longer Last Aid Course Professional (LACP) was developed. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the experiences and views of course participants and instructors on the Last Aid Course Professional (LACP) with ten teaching hours including the foundations of palliative care based on the storyline method.
methodsA mixed-methods approach was used including qualitative and quantitative data from a questionnaire for LACP participants and focus group interviews of LACP instructors.
resultsA total of 394 of the 422 participants participated in the study by returning a questionnaire (response rate 93%). The age ranged from 21 to 81 years (median 45 years). In addition, 14 instructors participated in two focus group interviews. The results from the questionnaires showed that 84% of all participants assess the course as useful for all professionals working in health and social care. The qualitative data show that the LACP was well accepted by different organizations and participants from different professions. The participants welcome the opportunity for interprofessional exchange and the possibility for a change in perspective, as well as getting insight from different perspectives, reflecting on ethical challenges, and working on different options for action in palliative care. Lack of staff was the main barrier for participation in the LACP.
conclusionsThe LACP is very well accepted by the participants and is a good option for palliative care education for professionals from health and social care.
