1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: The study aimed to survey the current situation and explore the factors that influence the ability of palliative care practice among oncology nurses. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted using stratified random sampling to select 26 tertiary hospitals' oncology departments in Hubei Province, China. A total of 1,198 nurses were included and finished the questionnaire consisting of social demographic characteristics, Palliative Care Self-Report Practice Scale (PCPS), End-of-life Professional Caregiver Survey (EPCS), and Self-Perceived Pain Assessment Knowledge and Confidence Scale (Self-PAC) through the online platform. Data were analyzed using Results: The total score for PCPS was 67.17 ± 12.57, the three dimensions' scores were: physical symptom care (32.50 ± 6.10), spiritual and psychological care (23.35 ± 4.97), communication (11.58 ± 2.48). There are significant positive correlations between the palliative care practice ability and core competence ( Conclusions: The overall ability of the oncology nurses to practice palliative care was relatively high, but the palliative nurses reported suboptimal performance in the communication dimension of palliative nursing practice ability. To comprehensively improve oncology nurses' palliative care practice ability, managers must consider the gender structure, educational background, enthusiasm for palliative care work, core competence, and pain assessment ability.
