From Rush to Ritual: Restoring the Sacred in Daily Care.
Article in Annals of family medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
As a medical student at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi-a national institute where precision intersects with human need-I have come to see that the most enduring forms of care are not always technical but intentional. In a space where excellence must coexist with overwhelming demand, rituals have anchored me. Through 3 clinical encounters, I reflect on how presence, not performance, grounds the act of care. These moments revealed that rituals are not sterile formalities; they are intentional acts of attention that make space for humanity amid the protocol. They shape how I show up-not just with knowledge, but with awareness. Guided by Catherine Bell's theory of socially situated rituals and Hannah Decker's work on mindful practice, I argue that rituals are not detours from clinical care. They are the care. Sometimes, the simplest gestures-like returning to the sink-become the most radical ways to stay present.
