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: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has an immense impact on families, particularly spouses, who face significant challenges such as changes in roles and responsibilities, relational dynamics and financial instability. The study aims to explore the psychosocial needs and concerns of couples coping with TBI from experts across various fields. Purpose: The study purpose was to explore the psychosocial needs and concerns of couples coping with TBI from experts across various fields. Methods: The current study adopted an exploratory qualitative approach, involving in-depth, face-to-face interviews with experts. Nine experts from six professional backgrounds were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eligibility criteria included a minimum of 5 years of expertise in TBI-related fields, proficiency in English and willingness to provide informed consent. The interviews were audio-recorded with the participants' consent. Results: Experts included neuropsychologists, psychiatric social workers, neurosurgeons, neuro-rehabilitation experts, physiotherapists and clinical nurses. A total of five themes have been identified, namely education needs, emotional needs, family needs, financial needs and support needs. Conclusion: The study on the psychosocial needs of couples from experts' perspectives in India is unique in nature. The results of this study will support the development and implementation of tailored psychosocial interventions specifically designed for couples in India. Various stakeholders engaged in the management of TBIs emphasised the critical importance of addressing the needs of these couples and ensuring the timely provision of personalised psychosocial support.
