Relationship Dynamics of Couples Facing Advanced-Stage Parkinson's Disease: A Dyadic Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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/
objectiveSeveral studies have examined the impact of Parkinson's disease (PD) on the quality of couples' relationships. To date, few studies have explored how couples experience their relationship dynamic by taking into account the disease stage. The objectives of this study were to understand the experience of each partner and to study the mechanisms that underlie their couple organization in the advanced stage of PD.
methodsSemistructured individual interviews conducted with fifteen patients and their partners were the subject of a dyadic interpretative phenomenological analysis.
resultsThree themes were identified from the analysis: the first, "A Closeness That Separates," allows the identification of different patterns of interactions that lead to emotional distancing between the partners; the second, "The Adversity Is Not Unbearable, But Going It Alone Would Be," emphasizes the importance of how the assisting partner provides support; and the third, "Be Prepared for Anything and Facing an Uncertain Future," reveals the extent and modes of the dyadic regulation of the emotions linked to what the future may hold.
conclusionPsychological support is important to help couples express both their feelings and their respective needs in the evolving context of PD.
