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 study focuses on the relationship between the faith sub-dimension of spiritual well-being and COVID-19-related fear among cancer patients. The research employs a descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional approach to understand how faith influences psychological resilience and reduces fear in this population during the pandemic. The study was conducted with 261 cancer patients treated at a Health Application and Research Center in Turkey from March to May 2022. Data were collected using the Faith sub-dimension and the coronavirus fear scale (C19P-S). The findings reveal a significant negative relationship between Faith sub-dimension and COVID-19 fear, suggesting that Faith plays a pivotal role in enhancing psychological well-being. In line with these findings, the study recommends integrating spiritual support into the psychological care processes for cancer patients, focusing mainly on faith-based support. Recommended practical applications include spiritual counseling services provided through telemedical systems and the establishment of hospital-based spiritual care teams structured to suit cancer patients' emotional and spiritual needs.
