Impact of death education programs on nurses' and nursing students' mortality perceptions and end-of-life coping competencies: a decade-long systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: To evaluate the effects of death education on nurses' and nursing students' attitudes toward death and end-of-life care competence. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs and CCTs. Data sources: Seven databases (2014-2025) including PubMed, Embase, CNKI, etc. Review methods: Two reviewers independently screened, extracted data, assessed risk of bias (RoB 2.0), and rated evidence certainty (GRADE). Random-effects meta-analyses, subgroup, and sensitivity analyses were performed. Results: Thirteen studies ( Conclusion: Death education may enhance end-of-life care skills, but its impact on death attitudes is uncertain. Evidence is limited by high risk of bias, heterogeneity, and lack of long-term follow-up. Future rigorous RCTs with longer follow-up are required. Findings should be considered hypothesis-generating.
