An Evolutionary Concept Analysis of Spiritual Competence in Nursing.
Review in Journal of advanced nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
aimsClarify the concept of spiritual competence in the context of nursing through evidence-based extraction of attributes, antecedents and consequences.
designConcept analysis.
methodsRodgers' evolutionary method of concept analysis guided this analysis, and we followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews.
resultsAn analysis of 45 studies clarified the concept of spiritual competence in the context of nursing. Spiritual competence in nursing is a dynamic process that, once initiated by nurses' spiritual awareness, promotes their spiritual well-being, their spiritual knowledge and skills and their sense of spiritual-care self-efficacy.
conclusionA comprehensive understanding and clear conceptual definition of the concept of spiritual competence in nursing will enable researchers to overcome barriers and foster nurses' development of spiritual competence to provide spiritual care in nursing. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND PATIENT CARE: The clarified concept of spiritual competence in nursing can help to shape education and clinical-training programs for nurses in a way that supports their ability to provide spiritual care and promote patient well-being and positive health outcomes. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution was essential to the conduct of this research.
