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

Individual experiences can influence the mental health of married couples. The objective of the present study is to investigate the mediating role of mindfulness in marriage between entrapment and mental well-being by examining the relationships between actors and partners. The actor-partner interdependence mediation model was employed to apply a dyadic approach to the data collected from 423 (N = 846) married couples for this purpose. The mean age of the women was 35.80 (SD = 9.57), while the mean age of the men was 39.0 (SD = 10.46). The results indicated that the relationships between entrapment, mindfulness, and mental well-being were substantial for both genders. It was discovered that the entrapment experienced by each of the couples predicted their own well-being through the mindfulness of the other in marriage in the context of partner effects. In other words, women's entrapment predicted their mental well-being, which in turn predicted men's mindfulness in marriage. Similarly, the mindfulness of women in marriage predicts the mental well-being of men. Consequently, it is anticipated that the well-being of both spouses will be enhanced if the mindfulness levels of individuals experiencing entrapment are high.
