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

Introduction: Post-traumatic growth is the positive psychological changes that an individual may undergo after coping with traumatic events. It can help individuals alleviate negative emotions, reduce physical and mental stress, and enhance self-efficacy. This study aims to characterize the latent profiles of spouses' post-traumatic growth and to explore the related factors for each subgroup based on the ABC-X model. Methods: 210 breast cancer couples participated in the survey through convenience sampling and completed the General Information Questionnaire, Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory, Dyadic Coping Inventory, and Resilience Scales. Results: Latent profile analysis revealed three distinct post-traumatic growth profiles among breast cancer patients' spouses: low growth-emerging edge group (30.9%), medium growth-moderate progress group (48.7%), and high growth-transcending self group (20.3%). Multivariate logistic regression showed that factors influencing post-traumatic growth in spouses with breast cancer include type of place of residence, resilience, negative coping styles, the number of chemotherapy treatments for the patient, and cancer stage. Conclusion: There is significant heterogeneity in post-traumatic growth among spouses. Future research could utilize precise psychological interventions to improve post-traumatic growth based on the diverse psychological profiles of spouses, thereby enhancing the mental health of the spousal population.
