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

objectiveTo correlate spirituality with the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with lung cancer.

methodsA quantitative study was conducted with 74 patients at an oncology hospital in João Pessoa, Paraíba, from July to December 2023. Interviews were conducted using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Spirituality - Religiosity - Personal Beliefs (WHOQOL-SRPB) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Data were processed and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

resultsA weak positive correlation was observed between the connection score and financial difficulties (p = 0.012), as well as a weak to moderate negative correlation between hope and the cognitive score (p = 0.001) on the spirituality and HRQoL scales.

conclusionAspects of spirituality contribute to the improvement of HRQoL in patients, providing a basis for the development of individualized care plans.
