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.

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
Depression and suicidality are typically treated with a combination of medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy. However, for many individuals, especially those dealing with trauma or a loss of meaning, these approaches may not fully address the deeper layers of distress. Emerging research points to the potential value of incorporating spiritual and meaning-centered practices into psychiatric care. This case report describes a 24-year-old mixed-race woman who presented with suicidality following a sexual assault and long-standing feelings of purposelessness. After stabilization, she was referred to spiritually integrated therapy by her outpatient psychiatrist and also received support from her spiritual community. Her treatment centered on developing spiritual qualities, building a sense of purpose, and engaging in acts of service. Over time, she showed significant emotional and psychological improvement. Her case highlights how meaning-focused and spiritually informed care can support long-term healing, especially in individuals facing existential challenges.
