The association between trait emotional intelligence and the quality of life of stroke patients: the mediating role of resilience.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. 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
backgroundStroke has profound physical and psychological consequences. Evidence indicates that trait emotional intelligence can enhance physical health and well-being in individuals with chronic conditions. However, the relationship between trait emotional intelligence, resilience, and quality of life in stroke survivors remains unexplored. This study aimed to examine these associations and to determine whether resilience mediates the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and quality of life.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 113 stroke patients from a tertiary hospital in China. Questionnaires measured demographic and medical characteristics, trait emotional intelligence, resilience, and quality of life. Spearmen correlation analysis and mediation analysis (PROCESS macro for SPSS) were used to analyze the data.
resultsTrait emotional intelligence was positively associated with both resilience (standardized coefficients = 0.490, p < 0.001) and quality of life (standardized coefficients = 0.357, p < 0.001). Resilience was also positively correlated with quality of life (standardized coefficients = 0.163, p = 0.019). Mediation analysis revealed that resilience significantly mediated the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and quality of life (indirect effect = 0.160, 95% CI: 0.016–0.345).
conclusionTrait emotional intelligence positively correlated to both resilience and quality of life in stroke patients. Trait emotional intelligence interventions may strengthen resilience and thereby improve quality of life in this population.
