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
This study explores the relationship between self-efficacy in romantic relationships and marital satisfaction, focusing on the mediating role of the sense of power. Data from 311 married couples (N = 622) were analyzed. The average age of female participants was 32.56 (SD = 8.35), while male participants had an average age of 35.13 (SD = 9.22). 35.4% of couples had been married for over 10 years, and 55.9% had at least one child. Most participants held at least a high school degree. Using the actor-partner interdependence mediation model and dyadic method, analyses showed that both women and men exhibited positive significant relationships between self-efficacy in romantic relationships, sense of power, and marital satisfaction. Partner effects were similarly significant. The mediation tests confirmed that sense of power plays a key role in the relationship between self-efficacy in romantic relationships and marital satisfaction, with acceptable model fit indices. The findings highlight the importance of power dynamics in romantic relationships and suggest that these factors should be considered in couple therapy and interventions to enhance relationship satisfaction.
