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

This study aimed to determine the relationship between adaptation to chronic illness, spirituality, and quality of life in the elderly. The descriptive study was conducted with 306 elderly individuals with chronic illnesses registered at a family health center located in a provincial center. In the study, a weak positive correlation was found between the Adaptation to Chronic Illness Scale and the FACIT-SP-12 Scale belief sub-dimension. The Adaptation to Chronic Illness Scale showed a moderate positive correlation with the SF-36 Scale sub-dimensions of physical functioning, physical and emotional role limitations, social functioning, and pain; while a weak positive correlation was observed with the general health perception sub-dimension. A weak positive correlation was identified between the FACIT-SP-12 Scale belief sub-dimension and the SF-36 Scale sub-dimensions of physical and emotional role limitations. It was determined that the elderly had a moderate level of adaptation to chronic illnesses and a high level of spiritual well-being.
