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
Background: Spiritual care is an essential component of holistic healthcare and plays an important role in addressing patients' emotional and existential needs. Spiritual care competency among healthcare professionals is essential to provide holistic care in healthcare settings. Objective: This study aimed to assess the spiritual care competency (SCC) of healthcare professionals at East Amhara Comprehensive Specialized Hospitals. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study design was used in two randomly selected East Amhara comprehensive specialized hospitals with a total of 376 study participants from June 01 to 30, 2024. Systematic sampling technique was employed to select study participants. Self-administered questionnaire was employed for data collection. Data were collected by trained data collectors after informed consent was taken from all participants. The outcome variable was measured by the SCC scale with 27-items with six subscales. SCC and explanatory variable associations were investigated by conducting backward linear regression model. In multivariable linear regression, variables with a p-value ≤ 0.05 were declared as statistically significant. Results: The overall mean spiritual care competency level among healthcare professionals was 3.33 (SD = 0.89). Male sex and the presence of a hospital supportive environment were the positive predictors of spiritual care competency. Conclusion: The overall mean spiritual care competency among healthcare professionals in the study areas was moderate. This result may hinder the full practice of spiritual care in healthcare settings. Hence, healthcare settings should design supportive places to practice spiritual activities by healthcare professionals and their patients.
