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
Medical schools are charged to deliver a curriculum on religion and spirituality (R/S), so a novel experiential course, the Sacred Sites of Houston, was developed. Sixty students completed the course consisting of 6 site visits. Post-course, participants described more general knowledge and knowledge of how each faith tradition describes medicine and health (p < 0.05 for all) except for Catholicism (p = 0.564 and p = 0.058). Ten course participants and 6 control non-course participants were interviewed following clinical rotations to assess the impact of the experiential course on R/S in the clinical setting. Themes from qualitative interviews such as R/S, barriers, interactions, and the course impact emerged. The importance of R/S in the patient-provider relationship and end-of-life care was prominent in course participant interviews compared to non-course participant control subjects. Participation in the course resulted in increased chaplain engagement and significant personal impact. These qualitative and quantitative findings indicate that an experiential course may be effective at addressing the deficit in R/S undergraduate medical education and help enhance the spiritually and religiously competent care of patients.
