Posttraumatic Stress, Posttraumatic Growth, and Heart Rate Variability Among Breast Cancer Survivors.

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
Introduction: Breast cancer as a life-threatening disease is the most frequent malignant disease among women all over the world. Resulting in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, breast cancer may also be related to positive changes like post-traumatic growth (PTG). The present study aims to evaluate heart rate variability (HRV) parameters among female survivors of breast cancer regarding its relationship with PTSD and PTG. Method: Forty-three women with stage 1-2-3 breast cancer were recruited. Heart rate variability parameters were measured with a 24-hour ECG. Post-traumatic stress disorder checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) and Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) were utilized to measure PTSD and PTG. Results: The mean value of PCL-5 was 49.56; the mean value of PTGI was 71.56. Correlation analysis showed that PCL-5 was associated with SDNN (r=-0.310, p=0.043), LF (r=-0.349 p=0.022), and mean heart rate (r=0.396 p=0.009). Post-traumatic growth inventory scores were associated with LF/HF ratio (r=0.310 p=0.043). Linear regression analysis demonstrated that PCL-5 and PTGI scores predicted SDNN and mean heart rate. Conclusion: PTSD and PTG symptoms are related to HRV parameters among female survivors of breast cancer. While PTSD symptoms are related to lower HRV and higher mean heart rate, PTG symptoms are associated with higher HRV and lower mean heart rate.
