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
Currently in the USA, there is increased interest in collaborative caregiving between mental health professionals and faith leaders. The "shepherding model" of pastoral care as reflected in Psalm 23 has deep religious roots across all major faiths: it is historic, scriptural, practical, and reflective of the activities of clergy and faith leaders. Many of the activities in Psalm 23 are also central to the role and function of psychological first aid (PFA). This commentary/study highlights similarities between Psalm 23 and PFA as a potential enhancement of the continuity of care delivered by both clergy and mental health professionals.
