The role of blame in the psychosocial adjustment of couples coping with lung cancer.
Article in Annals of behavioral medicine : a publication of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundLung cancer patients and their spouses may engage in blame attributions regarding the cancer cause, which may adversely affect their psychological adjustment. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to examine whether dyadic adjustment and network support moderate the association between blame and distress in couples affected by lung cancer.
methodsPatients and their spouses completed questionnaires within 1 month of treatment initiation (baseline) and at 6-month follow-up.
resultsMultilevel modeling of data from 158 couples revealed that, at baseline, dyadic adjustment moderated the association between blame and distress for patients but not spouses (p < 0.05). Controlling for baseline distress, baseline blame predicted later distress (p < 0.05) for both patients and spouses regardless of dyadic adjustment. Network support moderated this association at follow-up.
conclusionFor patients experiencing low dyadic adjustment, blame was associated with increased distress. Not initially but later, network support may protect against low levels but not high levels of blame in patients and spouses.
