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.

Data were collected using in-depth and semi-structured interviews, up to the point of data saturation, and were analyzed by Graneheim and Lundman's content analysis method with the support of MAXQDA software. Findings: Through analysis of transcribed interviews, one theme and 4 categories and 13 sub categories were emerged : The theme called "abandoned in miserable life stream" and categories consist of "living in the cage of grief and regret"; "insufficient support resources"; "marital burnout"; and "self-sacrifice to maintain family cohesion". Conclusion: The results of this study provide a broad range of context-specific challenges faced by wives of veterans with PTSD.
