Spiritual needs of older adults with cancer: A modified concept analysis.
Review in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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: To clarify the concept of spiritual needs and explain its meaning to older adults with cancer. Methods: Electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, EBSCOASU, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP) were systematically searched and analyzed using "spiritual needs" as keywords. Rodgers' evolutionary method guided the concept analysis to identify attributes, antecedents, and consequences. Two rounds of Delphi expert consultations ensured accuracy, reliability, and feasibility for implementation. Results: Spiritual needs express an individual's expectations of comfort and inner peace that satisfy his or her perception of the meaning and purpose of life, the ability to love and be loved, feelings of peace and gratitude, and a sense of belonging and hope. Spiritual needs have four dimensions: personal, communal, environmental, and transcendence or supreme. The attributes of spiritual needs include meaning and purpose of life, love and being loved, peace and gratitude, belonging, and hope. The antecedents include spiritual recognition and events that trigger spiritual needs and spiritual need thresholds. The outcomes of addressing and meeting the spiritual needs of older adults with cancer include promoting their spiritual health and enhancing their quality of life. After two rounds of Delphi experts' consultation, the expert authority coefficients (Cr) were 0.83 and 0.88, respectively. Experts agreed on the concept of spiritual needs. Conclusions: Exploring antecedents of spiritual needs in older adults with cancer clarifies obstacles to spiritual practice, offering intervention strategies for spiritual care and well-being. Meeting their spiritual needs enhances spiritual health and quality of life, essential in humanistic nursing care.
