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
aimThis study aimed to determine the relationship between spiritual well-being and perceived social support (PSS) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
designThis was a cross-sectional study. PATIENT CONTRIBUTION: This study was conducted on 120 patients with MS in Isfahan in 2021. The participants were over 18 years of age and referred to the MS Clinic.
methodsThe subjects were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using Cheraghi and Davari Dolatabadi's Perceived Social Support and Paloutzian and Ellison's Spiritual Well-Being (SWB) questionnaires and analysed using descriptive (number and percentage, mean and standard deviation) and inferential (Pearson's test, linear regression) statistics in SPSS software.
resultsPearson correlation test indicated that there was a direct relationship between spiritual well-being and the total score of perceived social support (r = 0.415, p < 0.001) and the emotional (r = 0.328, p = 0.004) and informational (r = 0.311, p = 0.006) dimensions; this relationship was not significant in the instrumental dimension (r = 0.197, p = 0.081). Moreover, linear logistic regression analysis showed that in MS patients, the chance of spiritual well-being among MS patients will be increased by 59.2% per unit increase in emotional support. Also, the chance of spiritual well-being increases by 34.1% for each score increase in the age of MS patients.
conclusionsIt is necessary that age and perceived emotional support, as a strong predictor of spiritual health status, are considered in designing health promotion interventions for patients with MS.
