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
backgroundStigmatization is a situation that results from the negative perspective of society toward individuals with certain mental and physical illnesses and has negative effects. It has been observed that there are not enough studies in the literature investigating the attitudes of individuals with mental illness to cope with lifelong difficulties such as stigma and especially their religious coping attitudes. However, there are many clinical studies on general psychology and religious coping with varying results. Our aim in this research is to reveal the association between religious coping and internal stigma among bipolar disorder patients.
methodsThe religious coping scale and the Internalized Stigma in Mental Illness (ISMI) scale were administered to 79 patients with bipolar disorder. The obtained data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22 (Released 2013; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States).
resultsForty-two (53.1%) patients were female and 37 (46.9%) were male, the mean age was 43.41±12.57, and the mean follow-up period was 11.95±9.15 years. A positive correlation was found between negative religious coping and discrimination experience, alienation, and social withdrawal in bipolar disorder patients. A significant negative correlation was found between discrimination experience, alienation and social withdrawal, and positive religious coping.
conclusionsThe correlation of religious coping attitudes with discrimination experience, alienation, and social withdrawal makes us think that religious coping methods may be one of the issues to be considered when dealing with self-stigma in bipolar disorder patients. In addition, the relationship between religious coping and self-stigmatization in mental illnesses can add a new dimension to psychosocial approaches. It would be beneficial for authors interested in religion and social psychology to focus on more extensive research on this subject.
