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

Background: Recent studies have considered the psychological resilience and growth experienced by healthcare professionals, particularly those facing stressors and traumatic events. Aims: To study post-traumatic growth in healthcare workers caring for patients, determine the internal consistency of the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and PTGI-Short Form (PTGI-SF) instruments, and carry out confirmatory analyses of their five-factor structures. Setting: Healthcare workers based in Greece. Methods: Cross-sectional design. Linear regression analysis with tested independent variables consisting of demographic, professional, health facility, and patient contact data. Confirmatory five-factor analyses of PTGI and PTGI-SF results were performed to validate their associated factors. Unidimensional reliability of the PTGI and PTGI-SF results was calculated. Results: The final regression model included sex and whether the internet was the source of health-related knowledge ( Conclusion: Being female and not using the internet as the principal source of information about diseases were each associated with increased post-traumatic growth. The internal consistencies of both the PTGI and the PTGI-SF were confirmed, as were the robustness of the five-factor structure of each instrument.
