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
Aim: To explore the longitudinal associations between psychological stress and sadness rumination in young and middle-aged stroke patients and their spouses based on the actor-partner interdependence model. Methods: The convenience sampling method was used to select 256 stroke patients and their spouses as the participants. The Stanford Acute Stress Reaction Questionnaire and the Rumination on Sadness Scale were used to investigate the patients at the acute stage (T1), 3 months (T2), and 6 months (T3) after stroke. Equivalence testing and cross-lag analysis of the actor-partner interdependence model were used for statistical analysis. Result: 256 dyads (512 individuals) were enrolled; 230 dyads (460 individuals, 89.8% retention) completed all three waves after excluding 26 dyads due to stroke recurrence ( Conclusion: Young and middle-aged stroke patients and their spouses exhibited high temporal stability in psychological stress and sadness rumination, with significant bidirectional actor effects and asymmetric partner effects. Longitudinal associations indicated a significant positive spillover effect, wherein spouses' sadness rumination prospectively predicted patients' sadness rumination. Limitations: Single-center recruitment, unmeasured confounders (rehabilitation intensity, medication adherence), no gender-stratified partner-effect test.
