Factors affecting post-traumatic growth in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients in South Korea: a descriptive survey study.
Article in BMC cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWhile most studies on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have focused on its negative impact, recent research has highlighted the concept of post-traumatic growth (PTG), where individuals experience positive psychological changes after a traumatic event. However, research on PTG in HSCT recipients remains limited. This study aimed to examine PTG as the primary outcome among HSCT recipients and identify key psychosocial and clinical predictors.
methodsAdult HSCT recipients within 1 year of transplantation at a university hospital in Seoul were enrolled from March 2018 to March 2022. Participants completed structured questionnaires, and treatment-related data were extracted from electronic medical records. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis.
resultsOverall, 106 patients were enrolled. The average PTG score was 73.75, with higher scores observed in autologous transplant recipients compared to those who received transplants from sibling and unrelated donor transplants. Significant factors influencing PTG included marital status (β=-2.91, p < .001), positive changes after transplantation (β=-0.196, p < .009), rumination (β = 0.298, p < .001), transplant type (β = 0.268, p < .001), and social support (β = 0.191, p < .006), with the regression model explaining 53% of the variance (F = 20.773, p < .001).
conclusionsOur findings underscore the need for tailored interventions that address key factors influencing PTG in HSCT recipients. They also highlight the essential role of oncology nurses in assessing psychosocial needs and implementing individualized, evidence-based care strategies to support psychological recovery and promote PTG.
