Helping Couples Plan for Retirement: A Feasibility Test of Couple CARE in Retirement.
Article in Journal of marital and family therapy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Helping people to adjust well to retirement is important, as some retirees struggle. Most recent retirees are in a couple relationship, and the adjustment of spouses is interdependent. The current study is the first evaluation of the effects of couple-based retirement education on couples' relationships and retirement adjustment. Twenty-seven couples attended one of a series of 1-day workshops plus a telephone-based couple session. Content included couple communication and support, healthy aging, financial planning for retirement, and social engagement. Client satisfaction with the program was high, retirement self-efficacy and couple dyadic coping increased, but there was no increase in the already high couple relationship satisfaction. A couple-based approach to retirement education is promising and a randomized controlled trial with larger numbers and follow-up is needed.
