Factors influencing posttraumatic growth in ovarian cancer survivors.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to examine posttraumatic growth (PTG), cancer coping, posttraumatic stress, and genetics knowledge among ovarian cancer survivors and to identify factors affecting PTG.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 148 outpatient ovarian cancer survivors at a cancer center. Data were collected between February 25 and April 11, 2019, and were analyzed using t tests, ANOVA, Pearson-correlations, and multiple regression.
resultsOn average, the ovarian cancer survivors scored 68.09 ± 20.17 in PTG, 59.75 ± 13.37 in cancer coping, 29.30 ± 17.25 in posttraumatic stress, and 9.42 ± 3.33 in genetics knowledge. There were significant differences in PTG according to religion (t = - 2.92, p = .004), marital status (F = 3.06, p = .050), and family history of cancer (t = 2.00, p = .047). In the final analysis, the statistically significant factors influencing PTG were religion (β = .170, p = .004) and cancer coping (β = .691, p < .001), and posttraumatic stress had borderline statistical significance (β = - .107, p < .068). These factors explained 52.2% of the variance in PTG.
conclusionsOvarian cancer survivors showed a moderate level of genetics knowledge while having a high risk for posttraumatic stress. Overall, this study showed that cancer coping was a powerful factor that influenced PTG in ovarian cancer survivors. Religion was found to positively affect PTG, and posttraumatic stress had a small negative effect. Spiritual nursing interventions and improving cancer coping while reducing posttraumatic stress are necessary to increase the PTG of ovarian cancer survivors.
