1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Spiritual care is a critical component of holistic healthcare, significantly contributing to patients' well-being and recovery. Understanding the factors influencing nurses' competence in providing spiritual care is crucial for improving patient outcomes. This study aimed to examine the relationship between spiritual competence, religiosity, and professional competence in delivering spiritual care among Iranian nursing students. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Qom, Iran, from September to November 2022. A total of 150 nursing students from a medical sciences university were randomly selected to participate. Data were collected using demographic questionnaires, spiritual competence scale, and the Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS). Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to assess the relationships between variables. Results: The mean (SD) SCCS score among students was 101.88 (17.33) (range: 44-135). Spiritual competence showed a significant positive correlation with all dimensions of the SCCS ( Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of spiritual competence in enhancing nursing students' ability to provide spiritual care. The findings suggest that awareness of interconnectedness and self-awareness are key predictors of spiritual care competence. These insights emphasize the need for comprehensive training programs focused on strengthening spiritual competence among nursing students to improve patient care.
