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

Elevated symptoms of depression and anxiety are common after the onset of cardiovascular disease in both patients and their spouses. Attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, and the degree to which couples cope jointly with the stress of cardiovascular disease may help to explain why some of them experience worsening psychological distress. The aim of this study was to investigate the link between insecure attachment and the mental health of patients with cardiovascular disease and their spouses, along with the potential mediating role of common dyadic coping (CDC). Patients with cardiovascular disease and their spouses completed validated questionnaires measuring romantic attachment, common dyadic coping, depression, and anxiety. A structural equation modeling framework was used to test an actor-partner interdependence mediation model. Patients' and spouses' (
