Translation and validation of the Portuguese version of the "Care of the Dying Evaluation".
Observational study in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to translate into Brazilian Portuguese, conduct cross-cultural adaptation, validate and use a post-bereavement tool, "Care of the Dying Evaluation".
methodsAn observational, international, cross-sectional multicenter study in seven countries, through 2018 to 2020. In Brazil, participants were recruited from two hospitals, Hospital Estadual Sumaré and Hospital das Clínicas, and had been admitted for a minimum of 3 days before death. Translation of CODETM in keeping with international principles, and pre-testing using patient and public involvement and cognitive interviews with bereaved relatives.
resultsThe survey involved 235 bereaved family members, mostly female (70.6%), with 40% being sons and daughters of the deceased. Validity of the CODETM tool was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency through Cronbach's α, and reliability via the Kappa coefficient and Spearman's correlation. The study compared care quality perceptions between those who received palliative care and others. Findings revealed that 50.7% were informed about the dying process, and over 60% expressed that clarification of expected symptoms would have been beneficial.
conclusionThe study confirms that the CODETM questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating the quality of end-of-life care within the Brazilian Portuguese context.
