Death preparedness in patients with cancer: A concept analysis using Rodgers's methodology.
Review in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 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
Objective: To analyse the concept of death preparedness in patients with cancer. Methods: Rodgers' evolutionary method was used for the concept analysis. We systematically searched CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database, CBM, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, PsycINFO online databases for studies related to death preparedness in patients with cancer. The relevant literature published between 2000 and April 2024 was thoroughly examined. Two researchers independently extracted data, with discrepancies resolved through discussion. Results: A total of 21 articles were included, and the findings were categorized into antecedents, attributes, and consequences. Death preparedness in patients with cancer included five conceptual attributes: acceptance of death, emotional adaptation, interactive communication, expression of personal wishes, and end-of-life planning; antecedents included individual, interpersonal, and social factors; and consequences included patient-related consequences, family-related consequences, and social-related consequences. Conclusions: This analysis elucidates the evolving characteristics of death preparedness in patients with cancer, clarifying its key attributes, antecedents, and consequences. The study provides a theoretical foundation for future research and clinical tool development. For clinical practice, this conceptual clarity can guide healthcare professionals in assessing and facilitating death preparedness, thereby improving patient-centered communication, advance care planning, and the overall quality of end-of-life care.
