Spiritual care in the intensive care unit. Is it already a reality?: an integrative review.
Review in Einstein (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionSpirituality has emerged as a phenomenon of interest in various global contexts. The adoption of spirituality as a fundamental aspect of healthcare remains underexplored, especially in critical environments such as intensive care units.
objectiveTo identify strategies for incorporating spiritual care into adult intensive care environments through an integrative literature review.
methodsAn integrative review was conducted using the Embase, Web of Science, Medline/PubMed, PsycINFO, LILACS, and Cochrane Central databases. Twenty-one studies published in English, Spanish, or Portuguese over the last 10 years were selected.
resultsDifferent approaches to spirituality were identified, including training implementation, individual interviews, meetings, educational programs, and practices involving healthcare professionals.
conclusionSpirituality in the intensive care environment has been a growing reality in recent years through efforts aimed at helping healthcare professionals integrate spirituality into the care provided in clinical practice. Individual interviews were the primary strategy for incorporating spiritual care in intensive care unit settings. Questionnaires were used to support these interviews, and the frequency and duration typically involved a single session, ranging from 15 to 60 min.
