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

Objective: This study examines differences in exposure and emotional reactivity to daily stressors for women and men in same-sex and different-sex marriages. Background: Prior research on daily stress processes in marriage suggests that women may face heightened exposure and emotional reactivity to daily stressors compared to men. However, prior studies have focused on women and men in different-sex couples, raising questions about whether and how gendered daily stress processes unfold differently for women and men in same-sex marriages. Method: Ten days of dyadic diary data were used to examine variation in daily stress processes in same-sex and different-sex married couples ( Results: Women reported more daily stressors than men, regardless of marriage composition. Emotional reactivity to daily stressors was especially heightened for women in different-sex marriages and, to a lesser extent, women and men in same-sex marriages compared to men in different-sex marriages. Conclusion: Results highlight the importance of a dyadic perspective and underscore the need to include same-sex couples in studies of gendered daily stress processes in marriage.
