Disease-related communication difficulties and dyadic coping among patients with breast cancer and their spouses: An actor-partner interdependence model.

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 examine the association between disease communication problems and dyadic coping in patients with breast cancer and their spouses. Methods: Dyadic coping and disease communication problems were assessed using the General Data Questionnaire, Chinese version of the Dyadic Coping Inventory, and the Cancer-Related Communication Problems within Couples Scale. Actor-partner interaction between dyadic coping and disease communication problems was modeled. Results: The mean disease communication problems scores were 7.08 ± 2.86 for patients and 7.07 ± 2.87 for spouses. Significant differences were observed between patients and spouses in the emotional support, treatment-specific issues, and protective buffering dimensions of disease communication problems ( Conclusions: Dyadic coping levels in couples are interactively influenced by their own communication problems and their partner's communication problems. A couple-centered disease communication strategy should be established to improve psychological and social adaptation among spouses. Such an approach may strengthen collaborative coping, deepen relational intimacy, enhance support efficacy, and provide a stronger psychosocial foundation for disease management.
