1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The number of studies investigating the effects of spiritual therapies on the quality of life of women diagnosed with breast cancer is quite limited. This systematic review searched the databases "Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed" using the keywords "Breast cancer," "Spirituality" and "Spiritual therapies" and found a total of four studies. The scanning was conducted by two independent reviewers between March 19 and 22, 2024. Included studies were published between 2013 and 2024. These studies found that spiritual therapy has positive effects on the quality of life of women with breast cancer. It is recommended that studies of high methodological quality are conducted to investigate the effect of spiritual therapy on the quality of life of women with breast cancer.
