Longitudinal cross-lagged association between posttraumatic stress disorder, post-traumatic growth, and deliberate rumination among healthcare staff 2 years after the COVID-19 pandemic in Hubei Province, China.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and post-traumatic growth (PTG) are inspiratory areas of psychological research in which deliberate rumination has important implications. However, these relationships have not yet been assessed in the COVID-19 pandemic using longitudinal designs.
methodsIn this study, measures of PTSD, PTG, and deliberate rumination were collected from 2,292 healthcare staff members at two-time points six months apart in 2022-2023 from two general hospitals in Hubei Province, China. A cross-lagged analysis was used to simultaneously determine the directional relationships between these three variables.
resultsThe results suggest that the relationship between PTG and deliberate behavior is bidirectional and mutually reinforcing (β = 0.133, P < 0.001; β = 0.129, P < 0.001). Significant prospective relations were observed between PTG and PTSD (β = 0.054, P < 0.01), and PTSD prospectively predicted changes in deliberate rumination (β = 0.204, P < 0.001). In addition, significant sex differences were observed in the cross-lagged models.
conclusionThese findings highlighted the noteworthy cross-lagged relationship between PTSD, PTG, and deliberate rumination two years after the COVID-19 pandemic in Hubei Province, China. Therefore, interventions to reduce PTSD, promote PTG, and improve well-being among healthcare staff are important.
