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.

BackgroundResearch has shown that people who consider themselves religious have a lower advance directive (AD) completion rate. However, advance care planning (ACP) includes a broader range of activities that are important in determining medical treatments. Little has been published on the relationship between spirituality, religion, and engagement in ACP activities.ObjectiveWe examined whether religiosity and spirituality are associated with ACP engagement.MethodsThis is a secondary analysis of interview data collected at baseline during a randomized controlled trial of a nurse-led ACP intervention. Measures included the 5-item Duke University Religious Index (DUREL), a measure of spirituality, and the 15-question ACP Engagement Survey, which examines engagement in multiple aspects of ACP.ResultsWe found a significant association between higher scores on each domain of the DUREL and higher ACP Engagement scores. In separate multivariable models adjusting for demographic factors, the relationship between greater religiosity (higher total DUREL scores) and greater ACP Engagement scores was significant (
