A Systematic Review of Nurse-Patient Communication Status in Palliative Care and its Affecting Factors.
Review in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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
Background: Investigating the status of nurse-patient communication in Palliative Care (PC) and understanding the factors affecting it helps to provide effective patient-centered care and optimize care strategies in PC settings. Therefore, this review was conducted with the aim of determining the status of nurse-patient communication in PC and factors affecting it. Materials and Methods: This systematic search was conducted in both Iranian and international databases, including Scientific Information Database (SID), Magiran, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), Public Medical Database (PubMed), and ProQuest, using keywords: "Palliative Care" AND "Communication" AND "Nurses" to find related articles published until 2024. Inclusion criteria for the articles included original studies whose results focus on nurse-patient communication in PC. Results: Nurses do not communicate comfortably and effectively with patients in the PC setting, especially in conversations related to advanced care plans, end-of-life care, and prognosis. This communication is influenced by factors such as trust issue between patient and nurse, individual preparation of nurse and patient, effective collaboration between nurses and physicians, the nurse's skill in being a good listener and establishing empathetic interaction with patient, and allocation of sufficient time for nurse-patient communication. The use of structured communication models, such as Sage and Thyme, Comfort, can help nurses to be a more effective communicator. Conclusions: The results of present study showed that nurses do not have effective conversations with patients in the context of PC. Therefore, in order to improve nurses' communication skills, training programs are suggested to be designed and implemented in accordance with the identified needs of nurses in relation to difficult conversations with patients.
