Article in Couple & family psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Associations between symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and relationship distress are well-established in research examining Veterans and their romantic partners. Partner accommodation of PTSD symptoms has been identified as an important construct that has ties to both Veteran PTSD symptoms and relationship distress. However, our understanding of accommodation and PTSD has not been tested in couples who are seeking couples therapy. The present study sought to investigate the role of Veterans' PTSD symptoms, partners' accommodation, and depression of both, in relationship satisfaction in 181 couples (male Veterans and female partners) presenting for couples therapy at a VA medical center. Results suggest that in in this sample, accommodation by partners of Veterans is significantly negatively associated with their own and Veterans' relationship satisfaction. Depression of both members of the couple was also negatively associated with relationship satisfaction, while Veterans' PTSD symptoms were not consistently linked to relationship satisfaction of either partner. These findings highlight the importance of assessing for accommodation in couples therapy. Integrating modification of accommodation behaviors into couples therapy may help improve couples therapy outcomes.
