Partners' experiences of inflammatory arthritis impact on their lives: a qualitative study.
Article in EULAR rheumatology open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Inflammatory arthritis (IA) profoundly affects not only people diagnosed but also their partners. Gaining a deeper understanding of partners' experiences is essential for developing strategies that support their well-being. This study explored how partners experience the impact of IA on their daily lives and how they manage their role within the relationship. Methods: An exploratory qualitative study was designed together with five couples serving as research partners. Data were collected through 1 focus group and 8 semistructured interviews with a total of 11 partners of people living with rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, or psoriatic arthritis. Participants were recruited through three rheumatology departments in Denmark, The Danish Rheumatism Associations, and online groups on Facebook. Data were analysed using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis. Results: Four themes were developed: Conclusions: Partners experienced emotional and relational strain when living alongside a person with IA, yet actively developed ways to manage this over time. Supporting partners through education, skills training, and psychosocial resources may strengthen partner well-being and ability to better manage IA with the person diagnosed.
