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
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that impacts health-related quality of life. Spiritual health may positively influence patients' well-being, being a relevant aspect for improving comprehensive management. Objective: To assess the relationship between spiritual health and health-related quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, aiming to provide evidence to support interventions integrating medical and spiritual aspects. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted in 2024 with 230 patients from three hospitals. Spiritual health was measured using the ESE-UM scale, and health-related quality of life with the D-39 questionnaire. Spearman's correlation and non-parametric tests were used to analyze associations with sociodemographic (age, sex, socioeconomic status) and clinical factors (insulin use, disease progression). Results: A significant positive correlation was found between spiritual health and health-related quality of life (ρ=0.338, p<0.001). Women and patients with high socioeconomic status reported greater spiritual health, while younger adults and those not using insulin showed better health-related quality of life. Discussion: The findings confirm that spiritual health serves as a coping resource in type 2 diabetes mellitus, enhancing health-related quality of life, consistent with prior studies. Factors such as sex, socioeconomic status, and hospital setting influenced both variables. Conclusion: Spiritual health significantly improves health-related quality of life in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, influenced by sex, socioeconomic status, and hospital environment. Incorporating spiritual care into type 2 diabetes mellitus management could optimize clinical and well-being outcomes, considering these sociodemographic variables.
