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: Young and middle-aged patients with first-episode acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and their spousal face significant psychological challenges, yet existing research often overlooks their dyadic interdependence in the process of benefit finding. Aim: To investigate the levels of benefit finding in young and middle-aged patients with first-episode acute myocardial infarction and their spouses, to identify the influencing factors, and to analyze the pathways among these factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 212 dyads of young and middle-aged patients with first-episode acute myocardial infarction and their spouses. Data were collected using a set of validated scales to measure benefit finding, psychological resilience, coping styles, and family function. Data analyses encompassed descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression, and path analysis via the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) to examine the actor and partner effects within the dyads. Results: Benefit finding scores were (64.77 ± 13.05) for patients and (65.65 ± 12.87) for spouses. Multiple regression revealed that patients' benefit finding was significantly associated with their own education, comorbidities, number of stents, resilience, positive coping, and their spouse's resilience. For spouses, their benefit finding was associated with their own education, age, resilience, family function, as well as the patient's age and comorbidities (all Conclusion: Benefit finding in both patients and spouses is moderate-low and influenced by multiple individual and dyadic factors. Interventions should target resilience, coping strategies, and family function from a dyadic perspective to enhance benefit finding.
