The correlation between posttraumatic growth and social support in people with breast cancer: A meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in psychology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
Posttraumatic growth (PTG) is consistently reported to be associated with social support among people with breast cancer. But so far there is no consensus on the size and direction to which social support are related to PTG in people with breast cancer. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed by us to quantitatively synthesize the previous results. This meta-analysis followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Embase, Chongqing VIP Information Co., Ltd. (VIP), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WANFANG DATA databases prior to 1 June 2022. A random effects model of Stata software (version 17.0) was employed to compute the pooled association coefficient and examine a series of moderating factors: economic level, publication type, region, year of publication, participants' age, and social support measurement tools. Ultimately, 31 studies including 6,380 breast cancer patients were identified. This meta-analysis offers evidence of a highly positive correlation between PTG and social support among people with breast cancer (
