Nurses' Empathetic Behaviors: The Direct and Indirect Effect of Their Spiritual Orientation.
Article in Journal of religion and health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Spirituality and its role in nurses' performance has gained much attention from the nursing researchers. But there is still some ambiguity about its role in improving the nurses' empathetic behaviors and factors that mediate this relation. To fill these research gaps, a sample of 247 Muslim nurses in a hospital at Shiraz, Iran, were selected and studied. Data were gathered by distributing the standard questionnaires among all of the nurses. Also, structural equation modeling and ANOVA test were used to analyze the data. It was found that nurses' spiritual orientation has a positive effect on their psychological capital and empathetic behaviors. Also, it was found that their work engagement has been affected by their level of psychological capital. Moreover, there was a significant difference between the spirituality of single and married nurses, in a way that married nurses were more spiritual. As a conclusion, it can be said that nurses' empathetic behaviors are a reflection of their spiritual orientation and marriage status.
