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

purposeAlthough HIV is likely to be a couple-based issue among serodiscordant male couples due to cross-partner transmission, little is known about how they cope with HIV as a team. This study aimed to examine the dyadic coping process among serodiscordant couples.

methodsA dyadic daily diary study was used to answer our research questions. One hundred and forty-one Chinese HIV serodiscordant male couples completed measures of we-disease appraisal, common dyadic coping, quality of life, and relationship satisfaction for 14 consecutive days and ART adherence, attitudes toward PrEP, quality of life, and relationship satisfaction at a 2-month post-diary assessment. Computations were based on the common fate mediation model, using multilevel structural equation modeling.

resultsRegarding direct effect, we-disease appraisal was associated with both partners' quality of life at the between-person level, post-diary quality of life, attitudes toward to PrEP, relationship satisfaction at both levels as well as post-diary relationship satisfaction. Common dyadic coping mediated the association between we-disease appraisal and both partners' quality of life as well as relationship satisfaction at the within-person level. However, no mediating effects were observed at the between-person level.

conclusionsOur findings highlighted the importance of the daily dyadic coping process among HIV serodiscordant couples. Future interventions should direct resources toward fostering a shared disease appraisal and training couples in common dyadic coping strategies for their daily lives.
