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
Hospitalization of preterm neonates in the NICU is an intensely stressful experience for mothers, yet it may also lead to positive psychological changes known as posttraumatic growth (PTG). This study evaluated the impact of spiritual care on PTG among mothers of preterm neonates after NICU discharge. A clinical trial was conducted with 60 mothers of neonates born between 28 and 32 weeks of gestational age. The intervention group received eight spiritual care sessions, each lasting 30-60 min. PTG was measured using the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory by Tedeschi and Calhoun at three time points: before the intervention, immediately afterward, and one month post-discharge. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Prior to the intervention, mean PTG scores in the intervention and control groups were 68.20 and 67.93, respectively. While no significant difference was observed immediately after the intervention, the intervention group reported a significantly higher mean PTG score one month post-discharge compared to the control group (87.00 vs. 74.23, p = 0.001). These findings suggest that spiritual care effectively enhances PTG in mothers of preterm neonates. Nurses are encouraged to integrate spiritual care into their practice to support maternal psychological well-being.Trial Registration: This study was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (no.
