Trial report in Scandinavian journal of caring sciences, 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
backgroundPalliative care is a broad spectrum of care that encompasses not only the physical but also the psychological and spiritual care of patients at the end of life, as well as the care of family members caring for the patient.
objectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of mandala colouring on spiritual and psychological well-being in family members caring for palliative care patients. MATERIAL AND
methodA total of 84 relatives of palliative care patients (42 experimental and 42 control) participated in this prospective, randomised, controlled, experimental study. The relatives of palliative care patients in the experimental group were given mandala colouring for 4 weeks, once a week for 1 h. No intervention was made to the relatives of the patients receiving palliative care services in the control group. Mandala colouring book and crayon were used for the study. The application was done quietly, calmly, and outside the clinic area. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Data were collected with personal information form, Psychological Well-Being scale, and Spiritual Well-Being scale. Data were analysed using SPSS 26 software. MAIN
resultsWhen the pre and post-test results obtained from the experimental group were evaluated, the level of well-being increased, and as a result, mandala colouring was effective in increasing spiritual and psychological well-being.
