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

This study sought to examine the effect of a spiritual program on the hope of stroke patients in Iran. The present study was a randomized controlled trial that included 108 stroke patients referred to Besat Hospital, Hamadan, Iran, in 2021. Participants were randomized to either the intervention group (n = 54) or control group (n = 54). The data were collected before the intervention by using the demographic information form, Snyder's Adult Hope Scale (AHS), the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS), and after the intervention, the  Snyder's Adult Hope Scale (AHS). The intervention group received four sessions of 45-60 min (one session per week) that included a spiritual needs assessment, religious care, spiritual supportive care, and evaluation of benefits. After the intervention, a significant between-group difference was observed (p < 0.001). There was also a significant increase in the mean of hope scores in the intervention group from baseline to follow-up (within-group difference) (p < 0.001), while there was no significant difference between baseline and follow-up in the control group (p = 0.553). (IRCT 20160110025929N36 and date: 2021/09/27).
