The Role of Coping and Posttraumatic Stress in Fostering Posttraumatic Growth and Quality of Life Among Women with Breast Cancer.
Trial report in Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Tedeschi & Calhoun's model of posttraumatic growth (PTG) suggests that intrusive thoughts about a traumatic event, in combination with helpful coping strategies, facilitates PTG. This manuscript applies this model to a sample of breast cancer survivors, augments it to conceptualize coping strategies as "active" or "avoidant," and extends it to include health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This is a secondary analysis of a subset of breast cancer patients (N = 123) in a randomized clinical trial of Tibetan yoga, which examines the associations of coping at study entry with PTG, PTSS (i.e., intrusive thoughts and avoidance), and HRQOL (physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) component scales) reported 9 and 15 months later. Mediation analyses revealed that higher baseline active coping predicted higher 9-month PTG, which in turn predicted higher 15-month PCS [effect = .46, 95% CI (.06, 1.07)]. Exploratory moderated mediation analyses revealed that higher baseline intrusive thoughts about cancer predicted lower 9-month PTG, which in turn predicted lower 15-month PCS, but only for those reporting low active coping [effect = - .06, 95% CI (- .16, - .003)]. Active coping may play a critical role of fostering PTG and improving subsequent HRQOL in the presence of rumination about cancer.
