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
purposeThis study aims to examine the relationship between quality of life and spiritual fortitude in individuals with an intestinal stoma.
methodsThis descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 66 individuals with an intestinal stoma between November 2024 and May 2025. Data were collected face-to-face in a hospital setting using the "Descriptive Characteristics Form," the "Stoma Quality of Life Scale," and the "Spiritual Fortitude Scale." Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsThe participants had a mean age of 61.71 ± 13.90 years; 53% were women, and 45.5% were primary school graduates. The mean total score for Stoma Quality of Life Scale was 52.21 (SD = 8.21), and the mean total score for Spiritual Fortitude was 33.79 (SD = 8.20). There was a significant association between the spiritual fortitude of individuals with an intestinal stoma and their quality of life (β = 0.261, R = 0.261, p = 0.035).
conclusionNurses can provide spiritual counseling services to enhance the spiritual fortitude of individuals with an intestinal stoma. Future research should focus on nurses' competencies in spiritual counseling and the effectiveness of such services.
