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
Divorce is an important social issue that has destructive consequences for both the individual and the family. It is a multi-dimensional and complex phenomenon that occurs under the influence of various factors, so this research was conducted to explain the reasons for divorce among young couples in the West of Iran with a qualitative approach. This research was carried out with a qualitative approach and conventional content analysis. Purposeful and snowball sampling were used to identify the participants. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data and continued until theoretical saturation was reached. In this research, 16 key informants and 32 main participants were present. For data analysis, Graneheim and Lundman method was used. Also, to increase the quality of the research, Guba and Lincoln's four criteria were observed. 212 primary codes, 24 subcategories, and 3 categories came from the analysis of the interviews. Categories and sub-categories include 1- individual factors (sexual problems, mental-psychological disorders, spouse's behavioral characteristics, individualism, physical appearance problems, Formation of a positive understanding of divorce consequences, having defective relationships before marriage, drug use), 2- socio-cultural factors (de-tabooing of divorce, women-oriented social changes, media and social networks, lack of a suitable support system, inappropriate spouse choosing, economic challenges, modeling of divorce), 3- family factors (job's impact on family life, improper communication with spouse's family, accumulation of negative feelings in marital life, issues related to children, cheating on spouse, inefficient relationships, heterogeneity of lifestyle, violence, inability to manage challenges). The results indicate that divorce is a complex, multi-dimensional phenomenon influenced by individual, social, cultural, and family factors. Prevention requires multi-level interventions, including educating couples on sexual issues and communication skills, promoting responsible marital roles, preventing superficial marriages, reducing stigma around seeking psychological help, managing personality and lifestyle differences, guiding families on conflict resolution, and providing access to counseling and mental health services before and after marriage.
