Reiki as a tool to enhance care from the perspective of complexity: a qualitative study.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 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
objectivesto describe the contributions of Reiki as a tool to enhance care.
methodsexploratory, descriptive, qualitative study grounded in the Complexity framework. Ten nurses from a 24-hour Primary Health Care Unit in southern Brazil participated. Data were collected between April and August 2022 through individual semi-structured interviews after each participant received five Reiki sessions. Thematic content analysis was used.
resultsReiki promoted changes in nurses' feelings, self-knowledge, and self-awareness, which were reflected in altered behaviors and attitudes when facing daily uncertainties. Participants reported new ways of (co)existing and engaging with order, disorder, and reorganization processes. These changes contributed to healthier eating, improved sleep quality, greater disposition and energy for daily tasks, and the adoption of regular physical activity.
conclusionsReiki proved to be a tool that enhances complex care and supports health and nursing professionals in coping with the disorders experienced in daily life.
