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
introductionLiving with a suicidal relative impacts multiple life aspects. However, it is not known how religious beliefs and meaning-making influence relatives' experiences.
aimThis study aimed to develop a theoretical framework to understand the role of religion in the experiences of Christian relatives living with a suicidal loved one.
methodsA constructivist grounded theory study was conducted, adhering to the COREQ checklist. Fifteen interviews were conducted with seventeen Christian relatives of suicidal individuals.
resultsFour themes emerged-acceptance of suicidality, seeking and experiencing God's help, surrendering to God, and religion's influence on relationships-forming a framework on how relatives' religious convictions about suicide and the intensity of their personal relationship with God influenced to what extent religion was helpful or harmful. DISCUSSION: Christian faith provided peace of mind and support to relatives who had a personal relationship with God and believed their loved one would go to heaven. Relatives who believed their loved one would go to hell due to suicide and lacked a relationship with God experienced guilt and fear, making them vulnerable to harm from religion. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Educational institutions and policymakers should specifically empower nurses to discuss spiritual issues when supporting relatives of suicidal individuals. RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This study offers valuable insight into the role of religious beliefs and meaning-making influencing the experiences of Christian relatives living with a suicidal loved one. It highlights religion's role in their coping processes. The findings equip mental health nurses with a deeper understanding of religious coping strategies, enabling them to provide better support to relatives. Integrating spirituality/religion into support allows nurses to respond more holistically to relatives' needs, potentially improving their well-being and resilience. Spiritual care is a part of nursing, but nurses feel unprepared. It is recommended that education and policy focus on nurses to better support relatives.
