Dyadic coping and well-being in early-stage dementia couples.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: This study examined the relationship between dyadic coping (DC) and anxiety, depression, and quality of life in 37 couples facing early-stage dementia (ESD). Methods: The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model was used for the analyses. Results: The study revealed significant actor effects of DC on these outcomes, particularly for quality of life domains. Subjects with ESD providing more delegated DC and engaging more in common DC showed less anxiety. Caregiving partners experienced lower distress when engaging in emotion-focused common DC. Interestingly, positive DC from caregiving partners was associated with lower quality of life in patients. Discussion: We found more actor effects than partner effects, suggesting that DC behaviors primarily impact one's own well-being, rather than the partner's well-being. The different patterns of DC effects on subjects with ESD and their partners reflect a need for tailored interventions that consider the unique needs of each partner in couples facing ESD.
