Post-traumatic growth and its influencing factors in first-episode stroke patients: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC psychology, 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to describe the level of posttraumatic growth in first-time stroke patients and to explore its impact on posttraumatic growth.
methodA cross-sectional survey with a convenience sampling method was employed to collect data using the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Brief Event-Related Reflection Questionnaire (C-ERRI), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Self-Assessment Scale (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Symptom Checklist (PHQ-9). From August 2024 to February 2025,166 participants were recruited from a hospital in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, to complete the questionnaires.
resultsPTG was present in Chinese first stroke patients with a mean PTGI score of (61.03 ± 13.92). In the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), the dimension with the highest percentile score was “Relating to Others,” while the lowest was “New Possibilities.” Significant predictors of post-traumatic growth included positive coping, negative coping, age, and personality traits.
conclusionsThe findings of this study indicate that patients experiencing their first stroke who employ positive coping and exhibit extroverted personality traits are more likely to achieve significant posttraumatic growth. In contrast, an excessive reliance on negative coping can adversely affect the facilitation of PTG. It is recommended that personalized intervention measures be provided for introverted first-time stroke patients, with the aim of promoting PTG, assisting them in better adapting to the challenges associated with the disease, and enhancing their quality of life. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
