Dyadic Coping of NMOSD and MOGAD patients and their partners: a sociological and psychological examination of strategies (CoMMOnsense-Study).

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: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated diseases (MOGAD) impose psychological burdens on patients. Chronic illnesses create challenges for both patients and their partners, who also play a crucial role in managing disease-related stress. Despite its relevance, little is known about the role of dyadic coping (DC) in these conditions. This study investigates DC in NMOSD and MOGAD, aiming to provide clinical recommendations. Methods: The CoMMOnsense-Study is a cross-sectional, prospective study of 59 NMOSD and 50 MOGAD patients and their respective partners, recruited from 15 centres of the German Neuromyelitis Optica Study Group registry. Participants completed self-report questionnaires on DC, depression, anxiety and quality of relationship. Correlation analyses were performed to compare findings based on antibody status. Subsequently, multivariate regression analyses were conducted to identify relevant predictors of DC. Results: Patients with NMOSD and MOGAD demonstrated higher levels of depressive symptoms (NMOSD: p=0.007; MOGAD: p=0.023) and stress communication scores (NMOSD: p=0.022; MOGAD: p=0.013) than their partners. Negative coping was low across all subgroups (Stanine 1). Despite high DC and relationship quality, discrepancies were observed in the coping perceptions between partners. Conclusions: Coping is highly shared within partnerships affected by NMOSD and MOGAD, while discrepancies in coping perceptions and protective buffering suggest the presence of unfavourable coping mechanisms. Reducing protective buffering and illness-related distortions shows potential areas for enhancing DC.
