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
Background: Promoting the resilience of healthcare providers (HCP) is crucial during peaceful times and even more during national crisis. The outbreak of the war in Israel, Gaza strip, and Lebanon in October 2023 prompted the establishment of integrative medicine resilience clinics (IMRC) in three hospitals; incorporating evidence based integrative medicine (IM) modalities, for reducing emotional and physical concerns among HCP. Our objective was to explore the impact of the IMRC through narratives of IM practitioners who provided the treatments. To explore the impact of the IMRC through narratives of IM practitioners who provided the treatments. Methods: Qualitative narrative research was based on in-depth interviews with 16 IM practitioners from IMRC's in three hospitals. Results: The interviewees' narratives revealed four spheres where the IMRC's contribution is suggested: 1- IM practitioners conceived their work to be effective in improving HCP wellbeing; 2- they felt that HCP functioned more effectively and provided better patient care; 3- practitioners described feeling meaningful, and acknowledged in the healthcare organization; 4- the positive impact of IM on HCP and administrators, positions them as potential advocates for IM in public health. Conclusion: IMRC for hospital HCP may have an important role in maintaining HCP resilience during wartime. These effects may also have ramifications on the recognition of the role of IM in public health during crisis and everyday times.
