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

backgroundSpiritual care is a component of nursing that aims to enhance and expedite the patient's healing process. It involves the nurse identifying the patient's personal values, social interactions, and psychological requirements. Thus, the present study was designed to investigate the effect of the online system spiritual therapies program on the attitude and competency of nurses working in the ICUs who provide spiritual healing. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study was quasi-experimentally on 50 ICU nurses in Ilam County in 2023 with a convenience sampling method which was allocated by randomization allocation software to group intervention and control groups. The participants in the intervention group received online educational sessions for six weeks which contained group discussions, quizzes, care plans, and spiritual services. Participants in the control group didn't receive any intervention. Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) and the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS) were filled out before and four weeks after the intervention. Data were analyzed with a standard error of 0.05 with Kolmogorov-Smironov, independent

resultsBefore the intervention, no considerable disparities were observed between the two groups, but after it, the mean and standard SCCS and SSCRS scores in the intervention group compared to the control group were considerably meaningful (

conclusionUsing online system spiritual therapy improves attitude and competency about spiritual care in the nurses work in ICU who provide spiritual healing. It is suggested that implement this approach in the ICU nurses for spiritual therapies and healing process.
