Palliative care knowledge among nursing students at a Polish medical university: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases, such as neurological disorders manifesting as dementia, often necessitate a shift in the nature of care - from long-term to palliative. Nurses play a particularly important role in this transition, as they spend the most time with patients: both in healthcare facilities and in home-care settings. Their competencies begin to develop already during their medical education. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess nursing students' knowledge of palliative care. Methods: The university-based cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing students ( Results: Polish nursing students ( Conclusions: Although the results of the study were relatively satisfactory, it is evident that nursing students require greater clarity and a deeper understanding of the nuances of palliative care. Addressing this knowledge gap may be achieved through comprehensive education that covers palliative, hospice, and long-term care, clarifying the appropriate contexts for each. Some of the more unexpected observations warrant further investigation.
