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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a Systematic Transaction Model (STM)-guided dyadic coping nursing intervention for patients with breast cancer and their spouses. Methods: A single-arm, pre-test/post-test pilot study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Wuxi, China, recruiting 28 breast cancer patient-caregiver pairs. Each dyad participated in six hybrid intervention sessions. Paired t-tests were used to evaluate pre- and post-intervention changes, and effect sizes were calculated. Feasibility was assessed by recruitment and retention rates, acceptability via the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8), and preliminary efficacy through measures of body image, dyadic coping, post-traumatic growth, and marital satisfaction. Results: All 28 dyads completed the intervention. Patients showed small-to-moderate improvements in body image, post-traumatic growth, dyadic coping, and marital satisfaction ( Conclusions: This pilot study supports the feasibility and initial efficacy of an STM-guided dyadic coping intervention, which may benefit breast cancer patients and their spouses as a unit. Further large-scale trials are recommended to validate these findings. Trial registration: China Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2400083416).
