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.

Abstract
We examined the role of spirituality in the recovery process in mental health care in Israel in the context of the October 2023 war, specifically as this role is perceived by peer support specialists. Peer support, based on principles of mutual connection, experiential knowledge, and empathy, focuses on empowering individuals and promoting the recovery process. Spirituality is a significant tool in this process. We administered questionnaires to a sample of 34 peer support specialists in Israel to understand their perceptions of the role of spirituality. Our findings showed a complex relationship between belief in a higher power and recovery, with some participants reporting feelings of guilt that hindered healing. The impact of spiritual experiences remained stable over time, with many participants maintaining their belief systems. The study highlights the challenges of integrating spirituality into peer support in Israel, particularly because of the different cultural and religious dynamics of religious and secular populations.
