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

A substantial amount of international research has demonstrated the impact of spirituality/religiosity (S/R) on health outcomes. However, we do not know much about physician's beliefs and attitudes toward patient's spirituality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the implications of physicians' beliefs toward patient's spirituality for clinical practice in the Brazilian context. Results of a literature review as well as an empirical research carried out on a sample of 48 Brazilian physicians, from two hospitals, regarding their beliefs and attitudes toward patient's spirituality are presented. There appears to be an ambiguous attitude of receptivity and silence on S/R issues in clinical practice. Ethical issues related to the integration of patient's spirituality/religiosity into health care practices are discussed.
