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
Medicine in medieval Islam was not simply a technical trade but a crucial societal institution guided by moral values and collective obligations. At the heart of this institution lies the concept of trust. This study aims to conceptualize the formation and dynamics of trust in medieval Islamic medicine, using a qualitative, historical-analytical approach. For this purpose, we analyzed manifestations of trust throughout society in accordance with theoretical frameworks of trust across three interconnected levels of relationships: trust within the community of physicians, trust between people and physicians, and generalized or public trust in physicians. The study results show that the framework of trust in the community of physicians is widespread and is created through professional knowledge, ethical standards, medical ethics, collaboration, and medical practices within the community of physicians; trust between physicians and people is also typical and is a product of socioeconomic factors and reputation; and finally, public trust is pervasive and is formed through societal and cultural measures.
