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
Introduction: This study aimed to assess medical students' perceptions of spiritual care using a culturally adapted Muslim-context version of the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 470 medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang. Participants were selected and data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Statistical analyses included independent Results: The mean total spiritual care perception score was 76.11 (SD = 7.02; range 54-90), indicating generally positive perceptions. Female students had significantly higher scores than males (76.59 ± 7.02; Discussion: These findings suggest that demographic factors, particularly gender, are associated with variations in medical students' perceptions of spiritual care. The results highlight the importance of integrating spiritual care education into medical curricula. The generalizability of these findings is limited due to the single-institution design. However, the comprehensiveness of the analyses and the multiple characteristics (academic years and clinical stages) of the respondents within large sample size in this study provide a basis for further use of this result.
