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

backgroundThe exact role of religiosity in mental health disorders is much debated, particularly in the context of a diverse country such as India.

aimTo study the religiosity and suicidal ideation in patients with depression at a tertiary care hospital in Southern Maharashtra in the year 2024. MATERIALS AND

methodsForty consecutively treated patients with depression, above the age of 18 years, in a tertiary care institute were recruited. Subjects were administered a semi-structured proforma, along with the Duke University Religious Index (DUREL) and the Scale for Suicidal Ideation. Data were collected and compiled. Statistical analysis was carried out using Microsoft Excel 365 (Microsoft® Corp., Redmond, WA) and Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS, version 29; IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Armonk, NY).

resultsThere is a statistically significant difference between the mean DUREL scores and the scale for suicidal ideation (SSI) classifications as per the Mann-Whitney U test.

conclusionThere is an inverse correlation between religiosity, as quantified by the DUREL, and suicidal ideation.
