1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: This study examined the actor and partner associations between psychological capital and ego depletion among women with polycystic ovary syndrome and their spouses during lifestyle management, and tested the mediating role of dyadic coping using the actor-partner interdependence mediation model. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional dyadic study included 303 women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with a body mass index ≥24 kg/m Results: The findings suggested actor effects, suggesting that psychological capital in women with PCOS and their spouses was associated with their own dyadic coping and ego depletion. This study found that patients' psychological capital was associated with ego depletion, with patients' and spouses' dyadic coping showing a partial mediating role. Dyadic coping in both couples fully accounted for the association within the model the association between spouses' psychological capital and patients' ego depletion. Conclusion: This study suggests that psychological capital and dyadic coping are important psychosocial factors associated with ego depletion among women with polycystic ovary syndrome and their spouses during lifestyle management. The findings indicate that strengthening psychological capital and dyadic coping may be relevant to supporting lifestyle management and may provide a useful reference for dyad-oriented nursing practice in PCOS care.
