The Use of Religion in the Management of Depression in Sickle Cell Disease: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of religion and health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The incidence of depression in individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) is significantly higher compared to the general population. This systematic literature review was conducted to: (1) describe depressive symptoms in SCD individuals and (2) explore religiosity as a coping mechanism for alleviating depressive symptoms. Emerging themes were physical depressive symptoms and psychosocial depressive implications. Despite uptake of religion and religiosity as a coping strategy in other chronic illnesses, no studies were found that used religiosity to cope with depressive symptoms in SCD. Future research should explore the use of religiosity as an alternative therapy to cope with depression symptoms.
