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

backgroundWomen experienced unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) are at higher risk of depression, anxiety, and other psychological disorders. Although social support showed a protective effect on the mental health among URSA women, little was known about the change and role of partnership among URSA women.

methods151 URSA women and 215 women with healthy childbearing history were recruited. Structured questionnaires to assess participants' partnership (partner support and partner strain), loneliness, and mental health. Weighted ordinary least squares models, parallel mediation analysis and network analysis were conducted to address the roles of partnership in the group differences in mental health and loneliness.

resultsURSA group reported higher levels of loneliness and psychological distress, which was partially explained by reduced partner support and increased partner strain. Network analysis showed different distributions of edge weights in mental disorder symptoms and partner factors between URSA and control group.

conclusionsThe women experienced URSA are more vulnerable to mental disorders that may even jeopardize future reproductive outcomes, where the partnership quality may play a critical role. More efforts should be put into developing support service and intervention programs to improve the relationship quality for URSA couples which may benefit the couple's well-being and future pregnancy in a long term.
