Hematological cancer patients' social support, coping strategies, anxiety, depression and posttraumatic growth: a structural equation model.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: Posttraumatic growth (PTG), defined as positive psychological changes following traumatic events, has been observed in some hematological cancer patients during their disease course. These changes, encompassing shifts in life perspective, interpersonal relationships, and self-perception, are critical for psychological recovery. However, the interplay of social support, coping strategies, anxiety, and depression in shaping PTG remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore these associations in hematological cancer patients using a hypothetical model. Methods: From August 2019 to May 2021, a cross-sectional survey was conducted with 474 hospitalized patients with hematological cancer at West China Hospital, Sichuan University, China (a tertiary hospital). The Social Support Rating Scale, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory were used for data collection. Correlation and regression analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0, a structural equation model was constructed using AMOS 24.0 software, and the confidence interval of the mediating effect was calculated using the bias-corrected bootstrap method. Results: Social support was positively associated with PTG in hematological cancer patients ( Conclusion: These findings provide a basis for further research on PTG in cancer patients, particularly with respect to coping strategies in various dimensions. Enhancing social support and addressing maladaptive coping may promote PTG. Tailored interventions targeting depression management and culturally sensitive support systems are recommended to enhance PTG.
