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
Objectives: The objective of the study is to assess training needs and the status of digital legacy and advanced care planning amongst participants. Following the World Health Assembly resolution, the Government of India launched National Programme for Palliative Care (NPPC) for a continuum of physical, psychosocial, and spiritual care of those suffering from life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses and their caregivers. As a process of implementation, capacity building with a nationwide cascade model training has been started with medical officers (M.O.s) at the district levels. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2024 amongst 260 M.O.s of four randomly selected districts of West Bengal. A semi-structured and validated questionnaire containing single-answer multiple-choice questions with a maximum score of 30 was used for pre- and post-training assessment. Digital death survey 2024 (open) was used for assessing digital legacy and end-of-life care planning. Results: Paired t-test showed a significant difference ( Conclusion: Periodic training of M.O.s is an exigency for smooth running of NPPC and integration of palliative care in primary health care.
