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
Disaster recovery in the Philippines is narrated through resilience, yet praise for endurance may obscure grief, health needs, unequal support, and institutional responsibility. This conceptual article develops the Critical Filipino Spiritual Resilience Framework through integrative conceptual analysis, comparison with adjacent constructs, and synthesis of the Meaning-Making Model and Social-Ecological Resilience Theory. Spiritual survival is proposed as the relationally situated process through which disaster-affected persons and communities preserve, contest, or reconstruct sacred or spiritually significant meaning, relational connection, moral agency, and reasons for continuing amid loss. It may include prayer, hope, lamentation, doubt, anger, religious struggle, silence, and protest without requiring uninterrupted faith, rapid adaptation, optimism, or post-traumatic growth. The framework organizes recovery through four interacting analytical domains: personal meaning reconstruction, family and community support, religious-symbolic resources, and structural and institutional conditions. Critical spiritual recovery alignment describes the multidimensional and changing configuration through which these domains reinforce, compensate for, or conflict with one another. Supportive alignment may facilitate physical, psychological, relational, functional, and spiritual recovery. Temporary compensation may preserve immediate survival while services are restored, but its significance depends on duration, adequacy, sustainability, inclusiveness, burden distribution, coordination, and institutional response. Critical misalignment becomes more evident when communal or religious resources repeatedly substitute for public provision, exclude marginalized survivors, or conceal institutional neglect. Dignified recovery is proposed as a normative outcome domain involving safety, health, material security, relational care, agency, equitable participation, and accountable institutions. The framework offers a justice-sensitive and empirically testable broader account of post-disaster health without romanticizing Filipino resilience.
