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
backgroundParents of children with intelligence and motor problems, including Down syndrome have to spend more time babysitting resulting in less intimacy with their mates. Solution-focused brief therapy is one of the treatments presented in the field of marital intimacy. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of solution-focused counseling on marital intimacy in mothers of children with Down syndrome. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this randomized clinical trial study, 72 couples were selected among members of the Asemannili Society (Isfahan-Iran) from 19/01/2021 to 20/04/2021. The control group received an educational pamphlet for four sessions (without homework) every other week while the intervention group attended eight 90-minute online counseling programs once a week. Bagarozi Marital Intimacy Questionnaire was completed at baseline, after intervention (8th week), and follow-up period (12th week) by the women and their spouses.
resultsThe mean scores of marital intimacy between the two groups at baseline (online: 313.23 ± 70.86, pamphlet: 315.92 ± 41.45) compared to the 12th week (online: 370.13 ± 44.63, pamphlet: 332.42 ± 30.39) were significantly different. The analysis of the variance test with repeated observations showed that the effect of group, and time on the total score of marital intimacy and its other dimensions, were significant (P0.05) for women.
conclusionBoth online and pamphlet counseling can improve marital intimacy in mothers of children with Down syndrome, but online counseling appears to be more effective. Thus, this method is recommended for improving the marital intimacy of these women.
