East meets West: cross-cultural generalizability of the numinous motivation inventory in Poland and Vietnam.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Background: The motivations to find durability to our mortal existence (i.e., infinitude), coherence in the midst of otherwise chaotic experiences (i.e., meaning), and a sense that our lives are worthy in the unfolding story of our species (i.e., worthiness), are powerful psychological qualities that, in part, comprise the uniqueness of our humanity. The psychological dimension hypothesized to encapsulate these qualities is referred to as Methods: This study tested competing measurement models to ascertain how universal numinous motivations are across two culturally distinct people groups: Polish ( Results: The findings showed that despite cultural differences in the two samples, the Numinous remained structurally similar across both cultures, was discriminant from personality, and predicted psychological qualities independently from the FFM. Discussion: The findings supported the hypothesis that numinous motivations are a universal quality of human psychology, that they are independent of personality, and predict unique pathways of psychological distress and help-seeking strategies.
