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
Introduction: Military spouses experience stressors adapting to the careers of service members. The Veteran Spouse Resiliency Group (V-SRG) is a group peer support program designed to foster community, share available support services, including educational, career, health care, and community resources, and promote self-care and wellness practices. As part of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, this initial study assessed the needs of military spouses to adapt and test the V-SRG program for the Army spouse population. This qualitative study sought to understand military spouses' 1) perceived challenges and rewards of military life, 2) needs for additional support, and 3) recommendations for a peer support program. Methods: Participants were 35 spouses of active duty U.S. Army soldiers. Zoom group sessions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed with inductive (open) coding to develop upper-level categories derived from the research questions. Results: Most participants were female (97%); 43% were white and 17% were Black or African American, Asian, or Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander. Themes identified to be tested in the new program in the larger parent RCT included challenges of education and career progression, parenting and child care, deployment, and accessibility of medical and behavioural health care. Benefits included value of military community and occasional positive aspects of relocation. Finally, recommendations for peer support programming included content, program structure, and program amenity recommendations. Discussion: Military spouses described aspects of military life to inform the design of a peer support program to meet their needs and preferences.
