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: Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) pose significant public health challenges, profoundly affecting family members, particularly spouses, due to emotional, social, and psychological strain. Wives of alcohol-dependent individuals frequently experience mood and anxiety disorders, reduced marital satisfaction, and compromised quality of life (QoL). Addressing these issues can enhance coping, improve well-being, and positively influence treatment outcomes for patients. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity among spouses of AUD patients and its association with marital satisfaction and QoL. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Faridkot after ethical approval. Couples meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria provided informed consent. Alcohol dependence severity in male patients was assessed using the Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SADQ). Spouses were evaluated using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale (KMSS), and World Health Organization QOL (WHOQOL-BREF). Data were analyzed for the degree of psychiatric morbidity and correlations with marital satisfaction and QoL. Results: Among patients, 51% had moderate alcohol dependence. Spouses exhibited predominantly mild depression (60%) and anxiety (45%). Severity of depression and anxiety significantly correlated with husbands' alcohol dependence ( Conclusion: AUDs significantly impair spouses' mental health, marital satisfaction, and QoL. Integrating family-centered interventions in AUD management is crucial to reduce burden and improve outcomes.
