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: University professors face considerable workload pressures and professional demands that can negatively affect their quality of life (QoL). Positive emotions associated with spirituality and religiousness (S/R) have been linked to enhanced QoL in various populations; however, limited research has explored this relationship among university professors. Objective: To examine the association between spirituality/religiousness and quality of life among university professors, identifying the most influential spiritual facets and relevant sociodemographic predictors. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 213 professors from a public university in Goiás, Brazil. Participants completed the WHOQOL-BREF (QoL) and WHOQOL-SRPB (S/R) instruments, both validated for the Brazilian population. Results: Seven of the eight S/R facets showed significant positive correlations ( Conclusion: Higher levels of S/R were positively associated with QoL among university professors. These findings highlight the potential value of integrating spirituality-based activities into university wellness programs as effective strategies to promote well-being and help faculty manage occupational demands.
