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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the dyadic effects of locus of control and coping style on the posttraumatic growth(PTG) of gynecological cancer patients and their spouses via the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM).
methodsThis was a prospective cross-sectional survey study. A convenience sampling method was used to select participants. The Demographic and Cancer-related Information Questionnaire, Internality, Powerful others and Chance Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Chinese-Posttraumatic Growth Inventory Scale were utilized for the survey. An actor‒partner interdependence model was constructed to examine the impact of locus of control and coping style on PTG for both patients and their spouses.
resultsThe date of 400 individuals(200 couples) were analyzed. The PTG scores for patients and their husbands were 61.66 ± 12.82 and 57.77 ± 12.03, respectively. Both partners' PTG was influenced by internal locus of control and positive coping style (P < 0.01). Each partner's internal locus of control and positive coping style could predict their own PTG, with a significant actor effect (P < 0.05). The spouse's internal locus of control could predict the patient's PTG, whereas the patient's positive coping style could predict the spouse's PTG, indicating significant partner effects (P < 0.05).
conclusionsThe PTG of gynecological cancer patients and their spouses is moderate. The locus of control and coping style of both partners have an interactive effect on their own PTG. To promote PTG for both partners, healthcare professionals should intervene simultaneously with patients and their spouses, incorporating positive psychological intervention methods.
