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

aimsTo examine the relationships among end-of-life care stress, perception of a good death, emotional intelligence, and end-of-life care performance and the factors influencing end-of-life care performance of public hospital nurses.

backgroundKorean society is entering a superaging phase, and with growing social interest in end-of-life health, the need for end-of-life care is steadily increasing. End-of-life care stress, perceptions of a good death, emotional intelligence, and end-of-life care performance are interrelated, and comprehensive research that applies these variables is needed.

methodsA cross-sectional descriptive design was employed and adheres to the STROBE guidelines. Participants were 146 nurses caring for terminally ill patients in a public hospital, South Korea. Measures were the general and job-related characteristics list, the end-of-life care stress scale, the Well-Dying Awareness Scale (WDAS), Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), and end-of-life care performance scale. Data were collected from February to April, 2025, and were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 29.0 program.

resultsA positive correlation emerged between perception of a good death and end-of-life care performance (r = 0.19, p = 0.019). Department, end-of-life care education, and perception of a good death were statistically significant factors influencing end-of-life care performance. The explanatory power of the regression model was 12.1% (Adj. R

conclusionsDepartment, end-of-life care education, and perception of a good death were significant factors associated with end-of-life care performance of public hospital nurses. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Expanding access to end-of-life care education and fostering a positive perception of good death among public hospital nurses are important strategies for improving end-of-life care performance. Nurse managers should ensure equitable access to end-of-life care education across all departments and create supportive organizational environments that encourage nurses to reflect on death-related experiences.
