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

backgroundCaregivers of children with hematologic malignancies face significant physical and psychological challenges. Identifying psychological adaptation profiles and their influencing factors is essential for developing targeted interventions to support this vulnerable population.

objectiveThis study aimed to identify distinct psychological adaptation profiles among caregivers of children with hematologic malignancies and explore the roles of family intimacy, social support and coping styles in psychological adaptation.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among caregivers of children with hematologic malignancies. Participants completed questionnaires focusing on sociodemographic information, medical information, coping style, social support, and family intimacy. Latent profile analysis was used to identify distinct psychological adaptation profiles. Mediation analysis was performed to explore the role of positive coping strategies in the relationship between family intimacy and psychological adaptation.

resultsThree psychological adaptation profiles were identified: the well-adapted group (35.8%), the general adaptation group (54.9%), and the maladaptive group (9.3%). Caregivers in the maladaptive group were more likely to have lower education levels and weaker family support networks. Mediation analysis revealed that family intimacy had both direct and indirect effects on psychological adaptation through positive coping strategies, with the indirect effect accounting for 31.62% of the total effect. These findings highlight the dynamic interplay between environmental factors and individual behaviors in shaping psychological adaptation.

conclusionThis study emphasizes the importance of designing interventions tailored to different psychological adaptation profiles. For caregivers in the maladaptive group, interventions should focus on improving coping skills. For the general adaptation group, enhancing family support and coping strategies could further improve their adaptation. Family-centered approaches and coping skills training are critical to promoting psychological resilience in caregivers.
