Article in Journal of religion and health, 2026. 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
Spirituality and spiritual fitness are important protective resources for healthcare professionals because they may give meaning to clinical practice, support ethical decision-making, and strengthen psychological resilience. This study aimed to adapt the SOCOM Spiritual Fitness Scale into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties among healthcare professionals in Türkiye. This cross-sectional validation study was conducted with healthcare professionals in the Black Sea Region of Türkiye. Of the 500 survey forms distributed, 408 were returned, yielding a response rate of 81.6%. After excluding 18 forms that did not meet the inclusion criteria, the final analyses were conducted with data from 390 participants. The scale adaptation process included forward-backward translation and cognitive interviews in accordance with international adaptation standards. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original three-factor structure and yielded acceptable-to-good fit indices (RMSEA = 0.066, CFI = 0.961). Internal consistency was high (Cronbach's α = 0.95), and convergent validity was supported by positive correlations with the meaning in life subdimensions. Measurement invariance analyses indicated equivalence across gender, age, and occupational groups. In conclusion, the SFS-HP appears to be a valid and reliable instrument for assessing spiritual fitness among healthcare professionals in Türkiye and for producing comparable scores across different subgroups.
