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

Aim: Patients' and spouses' neurodevelopmental traits may influence marital relationships, which are significantly associated with depressive symptoms. However, no studies have examined marital relationships in persistent depressive disorder (PDD) in terms of neurodevelopmental traits. This study aimed to explore the association between the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits of female PDD patients and both partners' (patient and husband) marital satisfaction. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was administered during two predetermined consecutive months at seven institutions. Participants were female outpatients who fulfilled the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition criteria for PDD and their husbands. The instruments of the study were the following validated surveys: the Quality Marriage Index (QMI), the Autism-Spectrum Quotient Japanese version-21 (AQ-J-21), and the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Part A (ASRS Part A). Results: The patients' AQ-J-21 showed a positive significant association with their QMI in all patients who responded to this study's questionnaire, whereas among couples wherein both patient and husband responded, the ASRS Part A exhibited a positive significant association with the patients' QMI. Conversely, the husbands' ASRS Part A exhibited a negative significant association with the patients' QMI. Conclusion: The patients' ASD and ADHD traits may play a positive role in the marital satisfaction of female PDD patients, while their husbands' ADHD traits may play a negative role. For female PDD patients with low marital satisfaction, it may be important to consider whether their husbands have ADHD traits; if so, it may be necessary to develop intervention strategies focused on the traits for improving the low marital satisfaction. However, our conclusions are not sufficiently convincing.
