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 introduces the spiritual psychological resilience scale (SPRS), a newly developed instrument designed to assess the integration of spiritual beliefs with psychological resilience in the Turkish context. The scale assesses the manner in which individuals draw upon spiritual resources to cope with adversity and maintain psychological well-being. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses identified a three-factor structure. Spiritual coping, spiritual beliefs and spiritual commitment collectively account for 55.01% of the variance. The scale exhibited robust internal consistency across all subscales, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from 0.785 to 0.854, thereby substantiating its reliability. Furthermore, the scale exhibited a notable negative correlation with spiritual contradiction, thereby substantiating its criterion validity. The SPRS provides a comprehensive instrument for evaluating spiritual and psychological resilience and is applicable to diverse populations. Future research should investigate its utility across different demographic and cultural groups, as well as its relevance to other psychological constructs such as depression and anxiety. This scale has the potential for use in counselling, educational and clinical settings, particularly for populations dealing with trauma and adversity.
