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

purposeThis study aims to investigate the impact of spousal addiction on women's marital satisfaction and family peace in Turkey.

methodsThis hospital-based case-control study was conducted between May and September 2024 in a large city in Turkey. A total of 309 married women aged 18 years and older participated, including those married to men hospitalized for addiction and those married to non-addicted men. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires covering socio-demographic characteristics, addiction status, marital satisfaction, and the Family Peace Scale (FPS).

resultsThe mean age of participants was 35.57 ± 9.58 years. Women whose husbands were undergoing addiction treatment (45.72 vs. 56.70) or addicted to any substance (49.13 vs. 59.11) had significantly lower FPS scores (p < 0.05). Similarly, FPS scores were significantly lower for women whose husbands were addicted to cigarettes (49.61 vs. 57.17), alcohol (44.17 vs. 54.59), drugs (44.52 vs. 56.39), or medication (41.27 vs. 53.61) (p < 0.05). According to the results of the logistic regression analysis, a higher educational level of the woman (OR = 2.388) was associated with a reduced likelihood of the man being addicted, whereas the presence of any substance addiction in the woman (OR = 2.422), lower FPS scores (OR = 2.042), and the presence of sexual problems (OR = 1.484) were associated with an increased likelihood. (p < 0.05).

conclusionThis study shows that addictive behaviors harm marital satisfaction and family stability. In addition to addiction treatment, policymakers should enhance family support and preventive programs, while clinical practice should provide family therapy and communication and stress management interventions involving both individuals and their spouses.
