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.

Abstract
This study aims to examine the serial mediating roles of psychological vulnerability and hope in explaining the impact of childhood psychological maltreatment on romantic relationship satisfaction in adulthood. The research was conducted with the participation of 401 young adults, and data were collected through self-report instruments. The proposed theoretical model was tested using structural equation modeling. The findings indicate that psychological maltreatment negatively affects romantic relationship satisfaction both directly and indirectly through psychological vulnerability and hope. Notably, psychological vulnerability and hope function as partial serial mediators in this relationship. The results suggest that childhood psychological maltreatment may undermine individuals’ internal psychological resources, thereby reducing their capacity to experience satisfaction in romantic relationships during adulthood. In this context, early psychological interventions and hope-based counseling practices may offer promising directions for therapeutic efforts aiming to enhance relational well-being among individuals exposed to psychological maltreatment.
