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

As an important part of the holistic care, spiritual care is considered an indicator of care quality. This study aims to identify and characterize nursing spiritual care interventions. In order to identify and select resources, an integrative review was done. The search was conducted in national and international databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, INML, Iran Medex, Iran Doc, Web of Science, Wiley, SID, ProQuest, Ovid, Science Direct, PubMed, ebrary, Sage, CINAHL, and Magiran from 1994 to 2018. As a result, 1625 articles were detected, 59 of which were included in synthesis. Data extraction and analysis presented eight categories of spiritual care interventions in the field of nursing including (1) the exploration of spiritual perspective, (2) healing presence, (3) the therapeutic use of self, (4) intuitive sense, (5) patient-centeredness, (6) meaning-centered therapeutic interventions, (7) the creation of a spiritually nurturing environment, and (8) the documentation and evaluation of spiritual care.
