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
backgroundRecent medical advances have led to longer lives, shifting end-of-life care from families to healthcare institutions. Despite the critical need to identify factors influencing end-of-life care competency among nurses in high-mortality departments, this area remains underexplored.
aimThis study aimed to determine the factors associated with end-of-life care competency among nurses in high-mortality departments, with a focus on preserving patient dignity and quality of life.
designAn explanatory sequential mixed-methods design.
methodsA survey was administered to 204 nurses across three general hospitals in G City, Korea, from June 13 to July 11, 2024, and data were analyzed using hierarchical regression. Subsequently, focus group interviews were conducted with nine participants between August 21 and October 10, 2024, followed by thematic analysis.
resultsQuantitative analysis revealed that the perception of shared decision-making (β = 0.20, p = 0.002), ethical nursing competency (β = 0.31, p < 0.001), and positive psychological capital (β = 0.19, p = 0.030) significantly influenced end-of-life care competency among nurses working in high-mortality departments. The regression model demonstrated an explanatory power of 46.8% (F = 14.04, p < 0.001, R
conclusionThis study identifies key factors to enhance end-of-life care competency among nurses in high-mortality departments. The findings provide specific evidence to improve care quality and optimize nurse deployment in high-demand settings. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP: This study highlights important implications for nursing leadership in improving end-of-life care. Nurse managers play a key role by providing structured training and fostering an ethical, supportive organizational climate. They must also promote effective communication and shared decision-making within clinical teams. Especially in high-mortality settings, leaders should prioritize workforce development strategies that strengthen nurses' psychological resilience and reduce burnout.
