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

purposeTo investigate religion and spirituality (R/S) as psychosocial factors in type 2 diabetes risk.

methodsUsing the Nurses' Health Study II, we conducted a 14-year prospective analysis of 46,713 women with self-reported use of religion or spiritual beliefs to cope with stressful situations, and 42,825 women with self-reported religious service attendance, with respect to type 2 diabetes. Cox regression was used to assess the associations.

resultsCompared with not using religious or spiritual coping at all, the fully-adjusted hazard ratios (HR) were minimally different across all categories: a little bit (HR=1.01; 95% CI:0.85, 1.19), a medium amount (HR=0.96; 95% CI:0.80, 1.14), a lot (HR=0.93; 95% CI: 0.77, 1.11) (P

conclusionsR/S was not significantly associated with type 2 diabetes, but its role in other chronic conditions may be important.
