The Role of Religiousness and Spirituality in Health-related Quality of Life of Persons Living with HIV: A Latent Class Analysis.
Article in Psychology of religion and spirituality, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01775436 (Palliative Care in People Living With HIV/AIDS), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 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.

Abstract
purposeUnderstanding how religion and spirituality influence health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is important for developing holistic, patient-centered treatment. This study determined distinct latent classes of religiousness/spirituality for adult persons living with HIV (PLWH) and associations between latent class membership and HRQoL.
methodsBaseline data was collected from 223 patients in the FAmily CEntered (FACE) Advance Care Planning (ACP) clinical trial for PLWH. Patients completed the Brief Multidimensional Measurement of Religiousness/Spirituality (BMMRS-adapted), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Medical Outcome Study-HIV Survey (MOS-HIV) and the Palliative care Outcome Scale (POS). The optimal number of latent classes was determined by comparing K-Class model with (K-1)-Class model iteratively. The relationship between latent class membership, HRQoL and demographic characteristics was assessed.
resultsPatients were 56.1% male, 86.1% Black/African American, aged 22-77 (Mean=50.83). 75.3% were Christian. LCA identified three classes: traditionally religious (35%), privately religious (47.1%), and spiritual but not religious (17.9%). MOS-HIV mental health (
conclusionsUnderstanding how religiousness and spirituality influence HRQoL can help the medical community develop holistic, patient-centered and culturally-sensitive interventions that could improve outcomes for PLWH and potentially mitigate the impact of health disparities within the Black and LGBTQ communities.
