[When the one who heals dies. The physician at the end of life].
Review in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 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
A physician's death represents a critical point of tension between the values of modern medicine and the ethical limits of care. This review article analyzes how physicians face their own end of life and the type of care they receive compared with the general population. A narrative review of literature published between 2014 and 2025 was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and SciELO databases with the MeSH and DeCS descriptors: "Terminal care", "Palliative care", "Attitude to death", "Health personnel", "Right to die". Findings show that although physicians express a preference for a dignified death with therapeutic proportionality and symptom control, many still die under highly technological and interventionist schemes. Mexico lacks systematic data documenting how its physicians die, revealing a gap between ethical intention and institutional practice. This analysis proposes developing a observational study to characterize therapeutic intensity, respect for autonomy, and the moral distress experienced by healthcare teams as bioethical and occupational issues within the health system.
