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

Aim: Investigate the different spiritual coping strategies employed by tuberculosis patients during their illness and determine the multidimensional determinants influencing these adaptive strategies. Design: Online cross-sectional design. Methods: Between January and September 2024, 448 tuberculosis (TB) patients in Zhejiang Province, China, were recruited via WeChat-based outreach. Data collection was implemented through a digitally administered, self-report survey platform. Comprehensive statistical analyses were performed, including independent samples Results: Among the 448 patients, 255 were male and 193 were female, with an average age of 47.45 (SD = 18.23) years. The factors influencing the level of Positive Spiritual Coping (PSC) were sex (t = -2.593, p = 0.010), residence (t = 2.317, p = 0.021), marital status (t = -2.485, p = 0.013), and economic indicators (F = 2.951, p = 0.032). The factors influencing the level of Negative Spiritual Coping (NSC) were age (F = 3.226, p = 0.041), marital status (t = 2.635, p = 0.009), alcohol consumption (t = 2.840, p = 0.005), number of children (t = 2.022, p = 0.044), and TB diagnosis type (t = -2.323, p = 0.021). The PSC level was negatively correlated with depression (p < 0.01) and positively correlated with the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), Family APGAR Index (APGAR), and Personal Mastery Scale (PMS) (p < 0.01). The NSC level was positively correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress (p < 0.01) and negatively correlated with BRS, APGAR, and PMS (p < 0.01). Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that PMS (2.852, P=0.005), APGAR (3.740, P<0.0001), BRS (3.457, P=0.001), and gender (3.343, P=0.001) significantly affected the PSC level in TB patients. Depression (10.112, P < 0.0001), APGAR (-4.571, P < 0.0001), BRS (-3.084, P = 0.002), number of children (-2.315, P = 0.021), and type of TB diagnosis (2.217, P = 0.027) were factors that independently affected the NSC level of TB patients. Conclusion: TB patients exhibit better PSC levels in female patients, and higher PMS, BRS, and APGAR levels correlate with higher PSC levels. NSC levels are higher in patients without children and pulmonary TB, while higher BRS and APGAR levels are associated with lower NSC levels. These findings can help healthcare providers tailor person-centered spiritual care strategies for TB patients based on factors influencing spiritual coping, thereby improving their mental health during illness, reducing psychological distress, and facilitating earlier recovery.
