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
Religiosity and Spirituality (R/S) have been highly studied in connection with mental health, but has hardly been explored in outpatients and health care professionals (HCP). This study aimed to evaluate intrinsic religiosity (IR) and its relationship with mental health in outpatients and HCP in Brazil. A total of 1.864 participants were evaluated. Based on a linear regression model, stress was associated with lower IR, age and education (p < 0.05); anxiety was associated with lower IR, age and unemployment (p < 0.05); and depression was associated with lower IR, age and education (p < 0.05) in outpatients. In HCP, stress was associated with lower IR (p < 0.05); women and profession were associated with anxiety (p < 0.05); and lower IR and women were associated with depression (p < 0.05). Regardless of the group they were in, higher IR was found to be associated with less stress and depression symptoms, as well as less anxiety symptoms in outpatients. These findings support the relevance of R/S for improving mental health in outpatients and HCP. The HCP and managers should be aware of the beliefs of their patients, and encourage their participation in R/S strategies.
