Effects of rumination and post-traumatic growth on health behavior among older patients with coronary heart disease.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The study aimed to investigate the effects of rumination and post-traumatic growth (PTG) on health behavior among older patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The Event-Related Rumination Inventory, Post-traumatic Growth Inventory, and Cardiac Health Behavior Scale were used to assess 429 older adult patients with CHD. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), hierarchical multiple regression analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results revealed that both intrusive and deliberate rumination were significantly associated with PTG and health behavior in older patients with CHD (β = - 0.38, - 0.37; β = 0.33, 0.29; p < 0.05). Post-traumatic growth was positively associated with health behavior (β = 0.45, p < 0.05). The results of the structural equation model showed that the models had a good fit and that the relationship between rumination and health behavior was consistent with the results of the regression analysis. Path coefficients of intrusive and deliberate rumination, as well as PTG, on the various dimensions of health behaviors were all significant (p < 0.05). The results of this study provide new ideas for improving the health behaviors of older patients with CHD. It suggests that we can intervene in the cognitive processing of older patients with CHD, using rumination as an entry point, which in turn promotes individual PTG and health behavior change.
