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

Chronic physical illnesses and mental disorders usually do not occur in isolation, but rather within a social context. The course of a disease is influenced not only by medical treatment but also by close relatives, friends, and especially partners, who themselves are affected by illness-related restrictions or care-giver burden. However, to date, the social context is not been adequately considered, with the social component of the biopsychosocial model often receiving only limited attention. With the We-Disease Model (WDM), we promote a systemic/interpersonal view of mental disorders and somatic illnesses with a particular focus on the couple relationship and joint coping efforts. To address processes over time, we propose the Trajectory Model of We-Disease (TMWD) to consider the factors that influence we-disease processes and propose various trajectories over time. Finally, we address the significance of this perspective, which is conceptualized in the term "we-disease", for health interventions.
