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
backgroundNurses often face high levels of occupational stress due to demanding workloads, emotional challenges, and the significant responsibilities associated with patient care. This stress negatively impacts their life satisfaction, yet the potential protective role of spirituality in mitigating these effects remains insufficiently explored.
objectiveThe present study aims to investigate the mediating role of spirituality in the relationship between occupational stress and life satisfaction among nurses.
methodData were collected from 502 nurses (291 females, 58%; 211 males, 42%), aged between 21 and 63 years, working in various hospitals across Turkey. Participants completed the Perceived Occupational Stress Scale, the Spirituality Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25 and the PROCESS macro (Model 4).
resultsCorrelation analyses revealed a negative and significant relationship between occupational stress and spirituality and life satisfaction, while a positive and significant relationship was found between spirituality and life satisfaction. Mediation analysis indicated that occupational stress negatively predicted both life satisfaction and spirituality, explaining 3% of the variance in life satisfaction. However, spirituality positively predicted life satisfaction and significantly mediated the relationship between occupational stress and life satisfaction.
conclusionSpirituality emerges as a crucial resource in mitigating the negative effects of occupational stress on nurses' life satisfaction. Hospital-based programs that promote spiritual well-being, such as positive psychotherapy, mindfulness training, and spiritual counseling, can enhance nurses' stress-coping skills and improve their life satisfaction. Moreover, it is essential for psychiatric nurses to actively support nurses in coping with the intense work stress they experience.
