Online Simulation in Palliative Care Education for Early-Career Nurses in Japan: A Pre-Post Exploratory Evaluation of Perceived Outcomes and Feasibility.
Article in Palliative medicine reports. 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: Early-career nurses often encounter difficulties in symptom management and communication with patients and families in palliative care. Although simulation-based education improves clinical competence, most programs require in-person participation. Evidence regarding the feasibility and outcomes of fully online simulation with immediate feedback for palliative care training remains limited. Objective: To examine the perceived outcomes and feasibility of a fully online simulation-based palliative care education program for early-career nurses in Japan. Design: Exploratory pre-post, single-arm study. Setting/Subjects: The study was conducted in Japan and included 34 early-career nurses with 2-4 years of clinical experience who participated in a 90-minute online program delivered via Zoom. Measurements: The program comprised briefing, simulation, group work, and debriefing sessions focusing on total pain and communication. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 1 month after using the Palliative Care Difficulties Scale, Nurses' Difficulty with Cancer Care Scale, Palliative Care Self-reported Practices Scale, and measures of confidence and satisfaction. Open-ended responses were analyzed descriptively. Results: Scores improved significantly from baseline in Palliative Care Difficulties Scale scores for symptom alleviation ( Conclusions: These findings suggest that the program may contribute to improvements in perceived difficulties and confidence, supporting its potential feasibility as an educational model.
