Relationship between loneliness and post-traumatic growth in patients with gynecologic malignancies: the mediating role of self-disclosure and psychological resilience.

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
backgroundTo explore the relationship between loneliness and post-traumatic growth, with a focus on the mediating role of psychological resilience and self-disclosure.
methodsThis study was a cross-sectional survey using the Loneliness Scale for Cancer Patients, the Distress Expression Index Scale (for measuring self-disclosure), the Psychological Resilience Scale, and the Posttraumatic Growth Scale on 215 inpatients with gynecologic malignancies at a tertiary care hospital in Guangzhou. Subsequently, Correlation, regression, and mediation analyses were performed using SPSS to test the relationships between the variables.
resultsThe results showed that loneliness was negatively correlated with posttraumatic growth (r = -0.261, P < 0.001), self-disclosure was positively correlated with posttraumatic growth (r = 0.360, P < 0.001), and psychological resilience was positively correlated with posttraumatic growth (r = 0.475, P < 0.001); loneliness was correlated with self-disclosure (r = -0.194, P < 0.01), loneliness was negatively correlated with psychological resilience (r = -0.287, P < 0.001), self-disclosure was correlated with psychological resilience (r = 0.287, P < 0.001); loneliness was significantly correlated with self-disclosure (r = -0.314, P < 0.001); loneliness was not a direct predictor of posttraumatic growth (β = -0.108, t = 1.734, P > 0.05), but could influence posttraumatic growth through the mediated effect of self-disclosure and psychological resilience, where the total indirect effect of self-disclosure and psychological resilience was - 0.155 (95% CI: -0.236, -0.081, P < 0.001).
conclusionsThe mechanism of loneliness on post-traumatic growth in patients with gynecologic malignancies is mainly through the indirect effect of self-disclosure and the indirect impact of psychological resilience. Great attention should be paid to patients' loneliness, to find factors promoting patients' self-disclosure, to improve the level of patients' psychological resilience, and promote post-traumatic growth of gynecologic malignant tumors.
