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 emotional abuse is a serious form of maltreatment that is highly prevalent. It threatens the well-being of elderly couples and negatively impacts family functioning. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of a rehabilitative nursing intervention for elderly victims of spousal emotional abuse on stress level, life satisfaction, and family functioning.
methodsA quasi-experimental research design was used in this study, which was conducted in Estabary and Ganzor villages in Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. A purposive sample of 50 elderly couples experiencing spousal emotional abuse (50 wives and 50 husbands) was recruited. Data were collected using four tools: the Multidimensional Emotional Abuse Questionnaire, the General Functioning 12-item subscale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Stress Scale.
resultsThe mean scores of the elderly couples for total family functioning and total life satisfaction significantly increased in the post-intervention phase (34.68 ± 5.15, 25.4 ± 3.5, respectively) compared to the pre-intervention phase (20.04 ± 4.08, 19.2 ± 3.6, respectively). Additionally, the mean scores for total emotional abuse and total stress significantly decreased in the post-intervention phase (85.2 ± 20.3, 6.7 ± 1.9, respectively) compared to the pre-intervention phase (117.7 ± 21.4, 16.2 ± 3.1, respectively).
conclusionThe rehabilitative nursing intervention for elderly victims of spousal emotional abuse was effective in reducing stress levels and improving life satisfaction and family functioning. Therefore, these interventions should be implemented with support from specialized professionals and institutions.
