A Communal Coping Intervention for Couples Managing Chronic Illness: Proof-of-Concept Study.
Article in Couple & family psychology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Communal coping is an interpersonal coping strategy defined as the appraisal of a problem as shared and collaboration to manage it. Despite evidence establishing links of communal coping to health, few interventions have involved communal coping. This study seeks to establish proof of concept that an intervention rooted in communal coping theory can impact couple members' communal coping and intermediary outcomes. Methods: Couples ( Results: The intervention increased reports of both patient and partner shared appraisal and collaboration and impacted some intermediary outcomes of communal coping. Compared to control, intervention participants reported greater perceived partner responsiveness, patient support receipt, and partner confidence in patient illness self-efficacy. Discussion: This study provides initial proof of concept that an intervention based on communal coping theory can increase couples' communal coping-both shared appraisal and collaboration. Additionally, the intervention was able to impact some intermediary outcomes that may be linked to downstream health outcomes for both patients and partners.
