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
purposeThe formation of spiritual well-being is essential for individuals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating roles of rumination and forgiveness in the link between adverse childhood experiences and spiritual well-being in both independent and sequential paths.
methodThe sample of this study consisted of 1138 university students (71.4% females; M = 22.06, SD = 2.43). The results showed that adverse childhood experiences were negatively associated with spiritual well-being. Rumination mediated the link between adverse childhood experiences and spiritual well-being. Self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others acted as mediators in this relationship. Rumination-self-forgiveness and rumination-forgiveness of others sequentially mediated the relationship. FINDING: These results highlight that adversities experienced during childhood are associated with higher levels of rumination, and these repetitive thoughts inhibit forgiveness, leading to reduced spiritual well-being.
conclusionThis study suggests that minimizing rumination and promoting forgiveness may be useful strategies to enhance spiritual well-being for university students who have experienced adverse life events.
