Hope and Healing: Exploring the Effect of Physical Illness on Religiosity in a Longitudinal Sample of Americans.
Article in Journal of religion and health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This paper uses longitudinal data from 2002 to 2021 to investigate the extent to which physical illness is predictive of religiosity in the United States. Specifically, it leverages multiple rounds of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), a survey of over 8000 Americans born between 1980 and 1984. Conditional fixed-effects logistic regressions are employed to examine the sample of respondents with changes in religiosity across survey rounds. All in all, the findings suggest that when people with less religious attachment experience physical illness, hope for healing and support draws them back to religion.
