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 The aim of this study was to evaluate if there are any intercultural differences between Polish and African students in perceiving some ethical issues of intensive therapy. Moreover, the influence of traits included in the Light Triad Scale (LTS) on these issues was checked. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-two Polish (PL) and 40 African (mainly Zimbabwe) English division (ED) first-year nursing students fulfilled a short survey containing LTS and 3 questions (with possible answers 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree): (1) "Brain death does not exist". (2) "I would like to be an organ donor for transplantation if my brain dies". (3) "Each patient should be intensively treated even if the treatment is a source of extra suffering and there is no hope for full recovery". RESULTS The acceptance for being an organ donor was significantly lower in the ED group (r=-0.528; P<0.001). Moreover, LTS Kantianism (perceiving others as "ends in themselves") correlated negatively with answers to the question "Brain death does not exist" (rho=-0.283; P=0.010*). It means those who do not believe in brain death tend to have lower Kantianism level. CONCLUSIONS There are numerous factors affecting attitudes toward organ donation in different countries (differences in education, traditional and religious beliefs, legal and ethical issues). According to the data, personality is another important field. What is interesting, there is no correlation between consideration of brain death and attitude toward becoming a donor. ED students usually believe in brain death but still rarely accept organ donation.
