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
This phenomenological study aimed to explore the psychosocial problems and spiritual coping strategies experienced by patients following myocardial infarction in eastern Turkey. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 21 individuals who had experienced myocardial infarction and were recruited using criterion-based purposive sampling. Data collection continued until thematic saturation was reached, and the data were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step phenomenological analysis method. The study was conducted in accordance with the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ). Three main themes and eight sub-themes emerged from the analysis, including the meaning attributed to myocardial infarction, psychosocial problems experienced, coping strategies, and healthy lifestyle behaviors. Participants described myocardial infarction as a life-threatening and transformative experience associated with fear of death, psychological distress, social burden, and physical limitations. Spiritual coping strategies, including prayer, religious practices, family support, and meaning-making, were identified as important mechanisms facilitating adaptation and emotional resilience. These findings highlight the importance of integrating psychosocial assessment, spiritual support, and holistic nursing approaches into post-myocardial infarction care.
