Posttraumatic Growth in a Predominantly Hispanic Cohort with a History of COVID-19 Infection.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSome who suffer traumatic/adverse life events experience positive change or posttraumatic growth (PTG) from those events. Research suggests that minority populations may experience greater PTG than non-minorities, but factors contributing to these differences are unclear. The COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity to assess PTG in diverse populations.
objectiveTo investigate PTG among COVID-19 survivors, compare PTG between Hispanic and non-Hispanic survivors, and ascertain factors that contribute to PTG. PARTICIPANTS AND
designA cross-sectional study of 239 adults with a history of COVID-19 infection were surveyed from December 2020 to September 2021 in San Antonio, TX. PTG was measured by the CAIR Pandemic Impact Questionnaire (C-PIQ), addressing five domains scored on a scale of 0-4: strengthened relationships, new possibilities, personal strength, spiritual change, and appreciation of life, with higher scores corresponding to greater PTG. Data related to pandemic-related social determinants of health stressors and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) health status domains were also collected. Multivariable linear regression analysis examined factors associated with PTG, including interactions between PTG scores and Hispanic ethnicity.
resultsThe sample was predominantly female (69%) and Hispanic (84%). The mean (SD) age was 43.7 (14.7) years, and the mean (SD) time between COVID-19 diagnosis to survey completion was 8.1 (3.2) months. The mean (SD, range) total PTG score for all respondents was 7.7 (4.7, 0-20); Hispanic respondents had higher scores than non-Hispanic respondents (8.1 [4.7] vs 5.7 [4.7]), respectively (p = 0.003). Multivariable regression analyses indicated higher PTG scores were positively associated with Hispanic ethnicity, older age, anxiety, and caring for sick/aging family members and negatively associated with depression (R
conclusionsMany survivors of COVID-19 infection experience PTG. Hispanic individuals with a history of COVID-19 infection experienced greater total PTG scores than non-Hispanic individuals. Older age, anxiety, and caring for sick/aging family members may contribute to greater PTG.
