A 95-Year Bibliometric Analysis of Spiritual Health Research Within the Scopus Database.
Article in Journal of religion and health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Spiritual health is a critical dimension of holistic care, encompassing intellectual connectedness and the process of making meaning guided by a transcendent connection. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of spiritual health from 1928 to 2023 using the Scopus database. The aim is to elucidate publication trends, citation metrics, document profiles, country productivity, and keywords in spiritual health research. The data was analyzed using the R and VOSviewer software. A total of 1962 documents were retrieved over 95 years, of which 1650 met the inclusion criteria. The results revealed that up to 2021, these documents encompassed 22,282 citations, averaging 877.98 papers per author. The majority were articles (84.20%) in English (98.88%), primarily within the field of medicine (48.46%). The Journal of Christian Nursing contributed 107 articles, with the most cited document originating from the United States. The overlay visualization map of author keywords displayed prevalent terms such as spiritual care, spirituality, palliative care, nurses, and COVID-19, indicating evolving themes in spiritual health research. In conclusion, this study highlights the important role of spiritual health in holistic care and emphasizes the need to integrate spiritual health into healthcare to meet diverse patient needs.
