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
Background: Miscarriage is a tragic experience that many women experience. A lack of social support, high stress, and inadequate coping mechanisms can affect their psychological well-being after a miscarriage. Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between social support, stress, and coping among women who had a miscarriage in Saudi Arabia, 2024. Methods: This study was an online descriptive cross-sectional, convenience sampling involving Saudi women without a history of psychiatric disorders and who experienced miscarriages within the last two years. We used social media for recruitment and Google Forms for data collection. The data were collected by 3 scales: Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the Brief-COPE, an abbreviated version of the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced inventory. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlations, multiple linear regression, and mediation modeling via Hayes' PROCESS macro. Results: This study included 270 women. Correlation analysis revealed that social support significantly fostered problem-focused (r =0.237) and emotion-focused (r =0.268) strategies but had no significant relationship with avoidant coping. Regression analysis identified avoidant coping as the strongest predictor of perceived stress (β= 0.19, p =0.002). Furthermore, mediation modelling indicated that the relationship between social support and stress was fully mediated through adaptive coping strategies, with no significant direct effect between support and stress found in the final model. Conclusion: Social support serves as a critical resource that protects women following a miscarriage by promoting adaptive coping mechanisms rather than directly reducing stress. So, interventions should focus on strengthening support networks and encouraging active, problem-solving-oriented strategies to improve psychological recovery and long-term well-being.
