[Digital legacy in hospice and palliative care : An online survey of professionals and volunteers aged 50 and above].
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 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
backgroundWith ongoing digitalization, questions concerning the management of digital legacies are becoming increasingly relevant for older adults, yet remain insufficiently addressed. There are legal, technical, and psychosocial challenges as well as gaps in research and support structures.
objectiveThe study examines attitudes and precautionary behaviours regarding digital legacy among professionals and volunteers aged 50 and above in hospice and palliative care.
methodsQuantitative and qualitative data from a nationwide online survey of 293 participants from hospice and palliative care were analysed. Descriptive statistics were performed using SPSS, while free-text responses were analysed according to Mayring's qualitative content analysis. RESULTS AND
conclusionAlthough the importance of digital legacies is acknowledged, concrete precautionary actions are rarely taken. Varied attitudes and needs indicate a demand for accessible, practice-oriented information and counselling services. Further research should pursue more diverse approaches to enhance supportive structures in practical contexts.
