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
Pregnancy is a transformative period that profoundly affects couple relationships and interactions. While this phase may strengthen intimacy and mutual understanding between partners, it also introduces significant physiological, psychological, and social stressors that can challenge relationship satisfaction and overall well-being. The dynamics of couple relationships during pregnancy affect not only the partners' emotional and mental health but also pregnancy outcomes, family functioning, and postnatal adaptation. A growing body of research has examined various aspects of couple relationships during this period, yet a comprehensive synthesis of the key factors influencing these dynamics remains limited. This review synthesizes current research on couple relationships during pregnancy, focusing on factors such as emotional intimacy, communication patterns, role transitions, and male involvement. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI databases for studies published from December 2003 to December 2023. A total of 71 articles were included in this review after screening. The article aims to review both facilitators and barriers to positive couple interactions, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to foster healthy relationship dynamics. By identifying gaps in existing research and suggesting directions for future studies, this review offers valuable insights for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers aiming to improve relationship quality and better support pregnant women and their partners.
