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

purposeThis study aimed to determine the correlation between spirituality and attitudes toward older adults among nursing students.

methodsThe study was designed as a cross-sectional study. This study was conducted with nursing students in the nursing department of a university in Eastern Turkey. The study was completed with 366 nursing students. An information form, the Spirituality Scale, and Kogan's Attitudes toward Old People Scale were used.

resultsThe mean score of the Spirituality Scale was 104.18 ± 18.79, and the mean score of the Kogan's Attitudes toward Old People Scale was 99.11 ± 13.57. There was a small but significant correlation between spirituality and attitudes toward older adults (r = 0.342, p < 0.01). Moreover, the results indicated that spirituality is positive and significantly predicted attitudes toward older adults (β = 0.342, t = 19.495, p < 0.01) and explained 11.7% of the variance in attitudes toward older adults.

conclusionsA small but significant correlation was found between spirituality and attitudes toward older adults. Further study on the causal relationship between spirituality and attitudes toward older adults among nursing students is necessary.
