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.

introductionBreast cancer not only affect physical and mental status of the patient intensively but also her spouse. Anxiety is one of the most common mental disorders among patients and their spouses. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of training couples on the anxiety of patients with breast cancer and their spouses. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis quasi-experimental study was carried out on eighty patients with breast cancer and their spouses who were referred to teaching hospitals of Zahedan University the Medical Sciences in 2022. Participants were divided into two groups intervention and control. The intervention group received three sessions of couples training. Three months after finishing the intervention, the data were gathered by Spielberger's state-trait anxiety. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 27.
resultsResults of this study indicated that the mean and the standard deviation of the patient's anxiety score in the intervention and the control group have changed from 50.27±6,64 and 49.97 ±7.09 to 50.42±6.18 and 38.70±3.50 respectively. The mean and the standard deviation of the spouses scores ( 'patients' husbands) in the intervention group and the control group have changed from 50.70±4.94 and 52.7±6.67 to 51.35 ±4.91 and 39.55±2.89 respectively. Independent T-test showed that there was a significant difference regarding the mean and the standard deviation of the 'Spouse's anxiety score between the intervention group and the control group after carrying out the couples training intervention (p<0.001).
conclusion''This study' 's results showed that spouses' participation in training sessions can lower patient's anxiety. Making the spouses more active in patients' care process empowers them and increases their efficiency to tolerate crisis, which finally decreases their anxiety.
