Article in International journal of community based nursing and midwifery, 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
Background: To effectively deliver palliative care within community settings, nurses must possess adequate competencies. Regarding the few review studies in this field, the present study aimed to explore the necessary qualifications required for nurses providing home-based palliative care to patients with incurable diseases. Methods: This scoping review was performed during 2024 based on the Cochrane methodology using the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley in six steps. A comprehensive literature review was conducted on databases of Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed/Medline, EBSCO, as well as Cochran library. Articles published in English between 1990 and 2024 were screened, and the textual narrative synthesis was used for data analysis. Results: The extracted data were organized into three main competencies including knowledge (knowledge of the philosophy of palliative care, familiarity with incurable diseases, and awareness of the structure of the healthcare system), attitude (interprofessional and intersectoral cooperation, cultural competence, and adherence to ethical principles), and skills (physical care, psychological care, spiritual care, social support, medication administration, care of dying patients, and communication skills). Conclusion: Community health nurses must possess sufficient knowledge, appropriate attitudes, and essential clinical competencies to deliver effective communitybased palliative care for patients with lifelimiting illnesses. The necessary competencies to provide home-based palliative care should be integrated into the nursing education program.
