Religious belief in a sample of trauma-exposed firefighters: Mitigating occupational stress and enhancing posttraumatic growth.
Article in Psychological services, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A religious lifestyle can be a powerful factor in predicting and promoting healthy functioning following trauma exposure. Previous research has demonstrated that higher levels of religiosity significantly predict posttraumatic growth following exposure to trauma. Firefighters are a population associated with routine exposure to potentially traumatic events, as well as high levels of occupational stress. While the relationship between religiosity and posttraumatic growth is well documented, the interaction of religious belief, occupational stress, and posttraumatic growth is less clear. The objective of this secondary analysis was to determine if religious belief moderates the relationship between occupational stress and posttraumatic growth in a sample of firefighters. The sample for this analysis was comprised of 109 firefighters who were assessed at various time points before fire service and throughout their first 3 years of fire service. A religious lifestyle did moderate the relationship between occupational stress and overall posttraumatic growth. However, a religious lifestyle and occupational stress were not significantly related. A religious lifestyle did moderate the relationship between occupational stress and the subdomains of spiritual enhancement and appreciation of life.
