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
Objective: To identify the latent profiles of dyadic coping in patients with autoimmune diseases and their spouses, and to analyze the influencing factors associated with different profiles, thereby providing a theoretical basis for developing couple-based collaborative intervention programs. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used to conveniently recruit 262 dyads of patients with autoimmune diseases and their spouses. Demographic and disease-related data were collected using a self-designed general information questionnaire. Single three-level self-reported items (mild/moderate/severe) within this questionnaire were used to measure patients'disease-related economic burden and spouses'caregiving burden. Patients and their spouses completed the Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI) and the Illness Perception Questionnaire. The Marital Adjustment Scale was additionally administered to identify distinct dyadic coping latent profiles. Mplus version 8.7 was employed to conduct latent profile analysis to identify different profiles of dyadic coping. SPSS version 27.0 was used for univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression to explore factors associated with class membership. Results: A total of 282 questionnaires were distributed, and 262 valid dyads were included in the analysis, yielding an effective response rate of 92.91%. Four latent profiles of dyadic coping in patients and their spouses were identified via latent profile analysis: High Dyadic Coping Profile (Class 1, Conclusion: Four heterogeneous subtypes of dyadic coping were identified among couples affected by autoimmune diseases, with 40.1% of couples exhibiting asymmetric imbalanced coping patterns. Illness perception emerged as the strongest predictor of imbalance, whereas marital adjustment served as a protective factor. The influence of economic and caregiving burden on dyadic coping exhibited a threshold effect: mild burden was protective, whereas moderate-to-severe burden may be associated with persistent coping impairment that is difficult to reverse. Clinical practice should implement stratified, targeted couple-based interventions according to the characteristics of each subtype.
