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
purposeNurses play a crucial role as caregivers for cancer patients and providing spiritual care has become an integral part of their responsibilities. However, cancer patients' spiritual needs are often overlooked in clinical practice. This study aimed to develop and validate a spiritual care e-book for women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy.
methodsWe developed a spiritual care e-book, Healing Light, for women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy and used the Fuzzy Delphi method for content validation. Two experts in clinical, two experts in nursing, one expert in education, and three experts in the spiritual care field participated in the study and evaluated the consensus of the e-book content using a standard questionnaire. The obtained data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel, including calculations of averages and formula-based computations.
resultsHealing Light comprises six sections, each covering specific topics on spiritual theory, practice, and reflection. The content validation showed that the spiritual care e-book has gained expert consensus with all items meeting the threshold values (d) ≤ 0.2, experts' agreement rate above 75%, and the fuzzy score (Amax) ≥ 0.5.
conclusionSpiritual care faces many challenges in breast cancer practice, including unmet needs, limited resources, and a lack of knowledge about spiritual practices. Healing Light was designed to address these gaps in the Chinese cultural context. As a user-friendly, bilingual, and expert-validated self-management tool, it is intended to serve as a resource that may provide breast cancer women with spiritual care guidance and support during a challenging period in their treatment journey, potentially promoting spiritual health and quality of life.
