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: Although it is known that social support can promote post-traumatic growth (PTG) of trauma survivors, the specific mechanism is still unclear in the case of government policy intervention and large-scale population infection with COVID-19. Methods: Through snowballing sampling from January 7 to February 13, 2023, we collected data from 1381 patients tested positive for COVID-19, excluding asymptomatic or undiagnosed cases. Participants completed effective scales measuring social support, PTG, and proactive coping behaviors. Multiple linear regression and mediation analysis were used to process the data. Results: Social support significantly predicted PTG (β=0.26, p<0.001), with proactive coping mediating 44.7% of this effect. About 32.66% of COVID-19 patients reported a medium-to-high level of PTG. Conclusion: This study uniquely captures the PTG dynamics during China's sudden policy transition, demonstrating the positive role of social support in PTG and emphasizing that proactive response is a key intervention goal for public health crises.
