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: The incidence of thyroid cancer has exhibited a steady upward trajectory, with women being more prevalent than men. Meanwhile, female thyroid cancer survivors are more prone to encountering negative psychological issues. Post-traumatic growth (PTG), a key element of positive psychology, has not been extensively studied in female thyroid cancer survivors, with unclear development pathways. This study aimed to investigate the correlates of PTG in female thyroid cancer survivors, including perceived social support, psychological resilience, and coping strategies. Methods: Six hundred and thirty-five female thyroid cancer survivors were included in this cross-sectional study. Data were collected using an online questionnaire comprising demographic information and scales measuring perceived social support, psychological resilience, coping strategies, and PTG. The relationships among variables were assessed using Pearson correlation analysis. The potential mediating roles were explored using AMOS 26.0. The indirect effects were assessed through bias-corrected bootstrapping procedure, utilizing 5,000 bootstrap samples. Results: Perceived social support was directly related to PTG ( Conclusion: Psychological resilience and emotion-focused/avoidant coping strategies play a chain mediating role in the relationship between perceived social support and PTG in female thyroid cancer survivors. These findings enhance the understanding of the predictive effects of perceived social support on PTG and suggest ways to enhance PTG among female thyroid cancer survivors.
