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
Objective: The purpose of this study is to find out more about the psycho-social-spiritual problems experienced by People with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) Muslims and their efforts to overcome them by using religious coping. Methods: This research is a qualitative research method with a telling-the-stories approach. This study describes assumptions about the physical/behavioral, social/emotional, cultural/historical, and spiritual aspects related to clinical participants' body, life, and power. In the context of this research, telling the stories from HIV/AIDS patients about how psycho-social-spiritual problems are experienced and efforts to overcome them with religious coping. This study involved 33 HIV/AIDS patients informants at Central General Hospital (RSUP) of Dr. Kariadi Semarang, Central Java with the criteria of being Muslim, medication adherence (ARV therapy). Findings: The results showed that most PLWHA experienced physical complaints such as pain in the early days of taking ARVs, opportunistic infections such as Stevens-Johnson, dizziness, temporary blindness, and body stiffness. Psychological problems including stress, anxiety, fear of death, and guilt. The physical and psychological problems experienced by PLWHA encourage them to use religious coping such as praying, dhikr, and prayer. This religious coping has a calming effect, which impacts reducing physical complaints and overcoming psychological problems. The psychoneuroimmunology pathway can explain the physical and psychological relationship, which shows that favorable psychological conditions trigger the nerves to work optimally to increase immunity. Discussion: In conclusion, religious coping can be used to overcome the bio-psycho-social-religious problems of PLWHA. This strengthens the application of holistic therapy to PLWHA through palliative care to handle pain and other physical complaints and psychosocial-spiritual concerns.
