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
Identifying the spiritual needs of older adults with chronic diseases and providing targeted care are essential for improving overall care quality. However, no culturally adapted and psychometrically validated Chinese version of the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire (SpNQ-20) is currently available for this population. This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire (SpNQ-20) into Chinese and evaluate its psychometric properties. A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July 2025 in two phases: (1) forward translation, back translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and pilot testing; and (2) psychometric validation among 1078 older adults with chronic diseases. The total sample was randomly divided into two independent subsamples for exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Validity was evaluated through content, construct, and concurrent validity analyses, whereas reliability was assessed using internal consistency, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability. The final Chinese version of the SpNQ-20 retained 20 items across four dimensions. Content validity was satisfactory (S-CVI = 0.800; I-CVI = 0.923-1.000). Exploratory factor analysis supported the original four-factor structure, and confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated acceptable model fit (χ
