Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Factors Promoting Posttraumatic Growth: A Longitudinal Study Immediately After Traumatic Loss.
Article in Clinical psychology & psychotherapy. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundIn response to extreme life events, individuals may experience not only distress but also positive transformation, known as posttraumatic growth (PTG). Only a few studies have investigated PTG following traumatic loss. This is the first study to investigate promotive factors-loss-related, intrapersonal and interpersonal factors-immediately after the loss and 6 months later.
methodsA total of 36 participants (58% female, Mdn = 49 years) were invited by psychosocial crisis intervention teams. Data collection took place immediately after a traumatic loss (T1) and 6 months later (T2). Various sociodemographic, loss-related, intrapersonal (e.g., symptomatic distress, posttraumatic cognitions) and interpersonal (e.g., social acknowledgement, self-disclosure) variables were investigated. Sociodemographic and loss-related variables were compared using inferential statistical group comparisons with regard to PTG. Multiple logistic regressions compared intrapersonal versus interpersonal factors to predict PTG at 6 months.
resultsParticipants were strongly affected by their level of exposure and the sudden or violent death circumstances of their close relatives. Among the sociodemographic and loss-related characteristics, no association was found with PTG. Lower levels of acute symptomatic distress predicted higher PTG. After 6 months, interpersonal factors significantly predicted PTG, whereas intrapersonal variables showed no more association with PTG.
conclusionsThe results suggest that there is a complex relationship between intrapersonal and interpersonal factors and PTG immediately following traumatic losses as well as 6 months later, which can only partially be related to the existing literature. Further research in this important field is urgently needed to support individuals after traumatic losses.
