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
purposeThis study aimed to explore the associated factors of spiritual well-being among cancer patients and the relationship between spiritual well-being (SWB) and quality of life (QOL).
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 200 Chinese cancer patients in a tertiary cancer hospital. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-being (FACIT-Sp) were used to measure SWB and QOL levels of participants. Multiple regression analyses were performed to determine the relationship between SWB and QOL.
resultsThe mean score of QOL was 59.8 (SD 13.1) with a range of 27-106. The mean score of SWB was 24.4 (SD 6.5), with a range of 8-48. Hospitalization frequency was the only variable associated with SWB. In terms of the relationship between SWB and QOL, the meaning and peace subscales were significantly related to overall QOL. It was also observed that the meaning subscale was positively related to social/family well-being, emotional well-being, and functional well-being. The peace subscale was related to the physical well-being, social/family well-being, and functional well-being. Faith was negatively related to physical and emotional well-being, but it had a positive effect on functional well-being.
conclusionsGiven that the meaning and peace subscales are related to a higher QOL level, it is important to find ways to improve these dimensions of spiritual well-being among cancer inpatients during treatment.
