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 aims to examine the relationship between nurses' therapeutic communication skills and their spiritual care competencies. A cross-sectional, correlational research design was used. The study sample consisted of 215 nurses employed at a training and research hospital in Türkiye (n = 215). Data were collected using a descriptive data form, the Therapeutic Communication Skills Scale for Nurses, and the Spiritual Care Competence Scale. As a result of this research, it was determined that the therapeutic communication skills of the nurses were moderate, their spiritual care competence was high, and almost all of the nurses thought that it was necessary to provide spiritual care to patients and that spiritual care had an effect on the recovery of patients. A positive correlation was found between nurses' therapeutic communication skill levels and spiritual care competencies. In addition, higher levels of therapeutic communication skills were found to affect spiritual care competencies positively. In line with these results, it is thought that increasing the therapeutic communication skills of nurses will increase their spiritual care competence, and it is recommended that initiatives be carried out to increase the therapeutic communication skill levels of nurses and similar studies be carried out in different institutions.
