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 examined spiritual complexity in end-of-life patients cared for by palliative care teams in Catalonia, Spain, using the HexCom model. Among 1818 patients (55.9% men, average age 75.7), spiritual complexity remained stable (37.5% initially, 35.5% final), while high complexity increased from 8.3 to 11.2%. Intrapersonal complexity was the most common (19.7%), followed by transpersonal (18.4%), and interpersonal (6.8%). Emotional complexity was strongly correlated with spiritual complexity. Key factors included cognitive impairment as a protector and how spiritual complexity sub-areas relate to desires to hasten death, family relationships, and end-of-life circumstances. The findings emphasize integrating spiritual care into routine interdisciplinary care.
