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

objectivesIt is unclear how resilience and posttraumatic growth help women with breast cancer face cancer-related symptom distress. This study included both resilience and posttraumatic growth as mediators in a serial multiple mediator model to examine changes in the relationship between symptom distress and quality of life among women with breast cancer. DATA SOURCES: We conducted the descriptive, cross-sectional study in Taiwan. Data were collected using a survey that assessed symptom distress, resilience, posttraumatic growth, and quality of life. A serial multiple mediator model examined one direct and three specific indirect effects of symptom distress on quality of life through resilience and posttraumatic growth. All 91 participants reported the presence of symptom distress and moderate levels of resilience. Quality of life was significantly associated with symptom distress (b = -1.04), resilience (b = 0.18), and posttraumatic growth (b = 0.09). The indirect effect of symptom distress on quality of life through resilience alone was statistically significant (b = -0.23, 95% CI -0.44 to -0.07) and statistically greater than the specific indirect effect through resilience and posttraumatic growth combined (b = -0.21, 95% CI -0.40 to -0.05).

conclusionResilience plays a unique role in reducing the impact of symptom distress on the quality of life among women with breast cancer. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Given the importance of resilience to quality of life, oncology nurses can assess the resilience of women with breast cancer and help identify available internal, external, and existential resources to strengthen their resilience.
