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
introductionA broad range of studies have associated spirituality with health outcomes. However, the integration of spiritual care in primary and community care has substantially lagged behind. Chaplains, as specialist spiritual caregivers, are increasingly employed in primary and community care to fill the gap. To investigate the implementation of chaplains in these settings from the perspective of clients, this study focused on the following research question: what are primary and community care clients' reasons to seek chaplaincy care, their ideas of care goals, and what outcomes of care do they report?
methods24 Dutch chaplaincy clients were interviewed.
resultsClients sought support from a chaplain for existential concerns, or an existential struggle encompassing several areas of life. They described goals and outcomes of care in 3 domains: (1) the relationship with the chaplain, which included being seen, heard and acknowledged; (2) meaning-making, where they gained insight into and/or processed life-events, and connected more with themselves, others and/or the sacred; and (3) well-being, which included feeling better and finding peace.
conclusionsThis study provides novel insights into clients perspective on chaplains' contributions in primary and community care. Their experiences are key to further shaping the implementation of chaplaincy in these settings.
