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

In illnesses such as cancer, which require prolonged and intensive treatment, patients' spiritual well-being plays a critical role in enhancing their sense of life meaning and may positively influence treatment outcomes. This descriptive study evaluated the spiritual well-being of patients with cancer. The sample consisted of 300 cancer patients receiving care in the medical oncology service and outpatient chemotherapy unit of a training and research hospital in Ankara between February and May 2024. Data were collected using an introductory information form and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale. A statistically significant relationship was found between the subscale scores and patients' gender, education level, income level, diagnostic status, and time since diagnosis (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the study showed that cancer patients demonstrated moderate levels of meaning and peace and high levels of belief. These findings indicate a potential need for interventions that address the spiritual and religious care needs of cancer patients following diagnosis.
