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

Introduction: This study focused on investigating the extent of posttraumatic growth (PTG) and explored how resilience and perceived social support (PSS) mediate the relationship between gratitude and PTG among patients with a history of coronary stent implantation. Methods: A total of 242 patients with coronary stent implantation completed the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the Gratitude Questionnaire-Six Item Form, the Resilience Scale, and the Perceived Social Support Scale. We used structural equation modeling to evaluate the mediating effects of resilience and PSS on gratitude and PTG. Results: The mean score for posttraumatic growth was 55.54 (standard deviation = 15.01). Gratitude had a direct positive effect on PTG in patients with coronary stents ( Discussion: Gratitude positively affected PTG directly and indirectly through the single-and chain-mediating effects of resilience and PSS in patients with coronary stent implantation. These findings offer compelling evidence of the key interrelating mechanisms among protective factors that contribute to PTG. Therefore, accounting for the predictive influence of gratitude, resilience, and PSS in PTG when developing relevant intervention strategies may help improve patients' quality of life.
