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

This study examined the role of attachment styles in relational maintenance behaviors among cohabitating couples during the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing a dyadic approach, the associations among anxious and avoidant attachment styles and personal and partner maintenance behaviors during the pandemic were explored. The role of COVID-related anxiety was also investigated as a potential moderator of attachment insecurity and relational maintenance behaviors. Dyadic analyses demonstrated significant negative actor and partner associations between attachment avoidance and the use of relational maintenance behaviors, whereas no significant associations were found between attachment anxiety and maintenance behavior. Additionally, COVID-anxiety was not a significant moderator of the association between attachment and relational maintenance. The findings provide insights into how couples navigated the heightened challenges of cohabitation during this period, offering implications for potential support strategies.
