Article in Journal of family & community medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe Hajj pilgrimage demands optimal physical and psychological readiness because of various factors, such as the physical health conditions that could influence the stress experienced during the pilgrimage. This study's aim was to analyze the association between comorbidity status and stress levels in Hajj pilgrims. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 5362 prospective Hajj pilgrims from North Sumatra Province for the 2024 Hajj season. Stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale-10 and categorized as mild stress or moderate-to-severe stress. Data on comorbidity and respondent characteristics were collected using a structured questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-square test, while multivariate analysis employed binary logistic regression.
resultsThe prevalence of moderate-to-severe stress was higher in pilgrims with comorbidities. Multivariate analysis revealed that having one comorbidity (odds ratio (OR) =1.29; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06-1.56) and two or more comorbidities (OR = 1.33; 95% CI: 1.04-1.71) was significantly associated with increased risk of stress. Of specific comorbidities, digestive disorders showed a trend toward increased stress risk (OR = 1.23; 95% CI: 0.97-1.56;
conclusionComorbidity status, in terms of both the number and type of comorbidities, is independently associated with increased stress risk in Hajj pilgrims. Health promotion programs should integrate a biopsychosocial approach paying particular attention to pilgrims with comorbid conditions.
