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
bacgroundThe aim of this study is to examine in depth the role of religion and spirituality in the re-adaptation processes of young adults who survived the earthquake, a large-scale natural disaster of the 20th century. The study focuses on understanding the role of spirituality as a coping resource in individuals' post-traumatic psychological recovery and resilience processes. It offers a unique contribution to the literature by shedding light on the cultural dimension of spiritual coping mechanisms in the Turkish context. It is also valuable for providing important implications for considering spirituality-based approaches in psychosocial intervention programs.
methodsPhenomenological research design, which is a qualitative research design, was used in this study. This qualitative research was conducted with 22 volunteer earthquake survivor nursing students. Interviews were conducted via WhatsApp. The data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis method.
resultsIn the analysis of the data, two themes (the effects of the earthquake and religious and spiritual practices to cope with the earthquake) and five sub-themes (social, physical, spiritual, religious practices, spirituality and coping) were identified.
conclusionAs a result of this study, it was determined that individuals in the disaster of the century were affected psychosocially and had difficulty in coping with the earthquake they experienced. In addition, it was determined that individuals benefited from religious and spiritual practices to cope with these problems.
