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
backgroundSpousal support can help women adapt to the challenges of pregnancy, cope with stress, and improve their well-being. The current study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived spousal support and stress coping levels in pregnant women.
methodsThis descriptive study was conducted with 150 normal and 150 high-risk pregnant women hospitalized in the Perinatology Department of a training and research hospital in Türkiye between October and March 2024. Data were collected using the "Ministry of Health Pregnancy Risk Assessment Form," "Descriptive Information Form," "Perception of Spousal Support in Pregnancy Scale (PSSPS)," and "Stress Coping Styles Scale (SCSS)." Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, an independent sample t-test, and Pearson's correlation analysis.
resultsAll sub-dimension score averages of the PSSPS were higher in risky pregnant women than in normal pregnant women. Risky pregnant women tended to adopt more helpless and submissive approaches in coping with stress.
conclusionThe present study found that the perceived spousal support of risky pregnant women was not directly related to their ways of coping with stress. Normal pregnant women adopted a more optimistic approach as a coping style with increased spousal support.
