Feasibility and potential effects of a dyadic coping intervention for patients with spinal cord injury and their spouses: a study protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionIt remains difficult for patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) to fully recover their sensory and motor functions; thus, they must rely on the assistance of caregivers to complete activities of daily living. This leads to psychological distress and decreased quality of life in patients and caregivers. Interventions for dyadic coping are a promising option. However, no studies have examined the effects of dyadic coping interventions on patients with SCI and their spouses. Therefore, our team constructed a dyadic coping intervention programme for couples with SCI. METHOD AND ANALYSIS: This two-arm, parallel-design, pilot randomised controlled trial will recruit 72 couples with SCI from two tertiary hospitals in Hefei, China. Couples will be randomly allocated to two arms. Couples randomly assigned to the intervention group will receive the usual care and the dyadic coping intervention. Couples randomly assigned to the control group will receive usual care only. The primary outcomes will be the feasibility and acceptability of the dyadic coping intervention for couples with SCI. Secondary outcomes will be quality of life, psychological distress, caregiver burden, marital satisfaction and dyadic coping. Outcomes will be collected at three time points: baseline (T0), post-intervention (T1) and after a follow-up period of 8 weeks (T2). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Anhui Medical University (84240008). The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2300074556.
