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
objectiveTo investigate the effects of death anxiety and spirituality on the psychological well-being of geriatric home care patients.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional design was conducted between January and June 2024 with 280 individuals aged ≥65 years living in a provincial center in eastern Türkiye. Data were collected using the personal information form, Spiritual Orientation Scale, Psychological Well-being Scale, and Death Anxiety Scale. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and machine learning based Shapley value analysis were applied.
resultsPsychological well-being was significantly associated with death anxiety and spirituality. Lower death anxiety (t=-4.253, p<0.001) and higher spirituality (t=4.728, p<0.001) were linked to better psychological well-being. Shapley value analysis identified spirituality as the strongest predictor.
conclusionReducing death anxiety and enhancing spirituality may improve psychological well-being in geriatric home care patients. Integrating spirituality-based psychosocial interventions into geriatric care may strengthen emotional resilience and quality of life. Future longitudinal studies are recommended to better understand the causal relationships between death anxiety, spirituality, and psychological well-being in geriatric home care populations.
