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
backgroundThere is still a serious imbalance between the number of organ donors and the number of patients on the transplant list. It is therefore of great importance to assess and strengthen resources to improve people's attitudes towards organ donation. This study examines the possible mediating role of Spiritual Well-Being (SWB) in relation to attitudes towards organ donation and family discussions in Iranian society.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted in Iran in 2022. Participants included 316 members of the Iranian general population aged 18 years and older who participated in the study using convenience sampling methods. Data were collected using a demographic profile form, and the standardized Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) by Paloutzian and Ellisons, and two researcher-made questionnaire including Attitudes towards organ donation and discuss with family. The researchers used path analysis to analyze the mediation model. All the statistical analyses were done using the SPSS_AMOS 27 software.
resultsThe majority of participants were single professional women with a bachelor's degree. Pearson correlation test results showed a positive correlation between attitudes towards organ donation and family discussions (r = 0.522, p < 0.001). There was also a positive association between attitudes towards organ donation and SWB (r = 0.247, p < 0.001). Similarly, results indicate a partial association between family discussion and attitudes toward organ donation, which is influenced by the mediating variable SWB and family affected in a manner similar to that seen for the variable 'discussing with'. And 'attitudes toward organ donation' are mediated by varying SWB (B = 0.227, p < 0.009). SWB and discuss with family explain 30% of the variance.
conclusionAttitudes toward organ donation were directly influenced by discuss with family members and improved by SWB accordingly. This study suggests that SWB is integral to attitudes towards organ donation in Iranian society. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
