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

Across the globe, spiritual care provided by nurses is recognised as an integral component of patient care. The decision to administer this scale test was driven by the observation that the instruments employed by nurses, which are designed to be more straightforward, accessible and culturally aligned with Indonesian contexts, were not adequately addressing spiritual needs. The present study sought to assess the reliability and validity of the Indonesian version of the Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale (NSCTS-I). The study comprised 147 participants in a pilot test and 343 participants divided into two sub-samples. Sub-sample one was used for exploratory factor analysis (EFA; 189), and sub-sample two for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA; 154) of nurses working in four public hospitals who served in inpatient wards such as internal medicine wards, surgical wards, mother and child care wards, dedicated units for treating patients with COVD-19, or other treatment rooms. Construct validity was established using content validity indexing, EFA, goodness-of-fit model of a CFA which exhibited the highest comparative fit index (CFI .957), the lowest of root-mean-square-error of approximation (RMSEA .039), and standardised root-mean-square residual (SRMR .022). The analysis results indicate that the model is a well-fitted model with acceptable error margins. Correlational analysis with internal reliability of the NSCTS-I was further substantiated by a Cronbach's alpha of 0.963, thereby affirming its excellent reliability. The content validity indexing process indicated a scale CVI (S-CVI/Ave and I-CVI) of .97, an S-CVI/UA of .87, and an ICC of .927. The NSCTS-I has been developed as a tool to assess and evaluate the frequency with which Indonesian nurses provide spiritual care, with the objective of ensuring that patients' spiritual needs are met in the future.
