Rethinking Recovery: Psychological Flexibility and Growth Across Diverse Recovery Approaches.

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
Although recovery capital and psychological flexibility have each been associated with substance use recovery, their combined role in fostering posttraumatic growth remains unclear. This study integrates recovery capital theory with psychological flexibility and posttraumatic growth frameworks to test a theory-driven model of adaptive recovery processes. The study sought to (1) examine whether recovery capital or abstinence predicts posttraumatic growth, (2) assess whether recovery capital or abstinence status predicts psychological flexibility, and (3) test whether psychological flexibility statistically mediates the relationship between recovery and posttraumatic growth. A national sample of 244 adults in recovery from substance use disorder completed the Assessment of Recovery Capital, the Personalized Psychological Flexibility Index, and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory-Expanded. Multiple linear regressions addressed the first two aims. For Aim 3, the mediation model was tested using the SPSS PROCESS macro (version 4.0) with 5000 bootstrap resamples. Recovery capital significantly predicted both posttraumatic growth and psychological flexibility. Abstinence status did not predict posttraumatic or psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility partially mediated the association between recovery capital and posttraumatic growth. Psychological flexibility may be a key mechanism by which recovery capital fosters posttraumatic growth, supporting interventions that enhance both resources beyond abstinence alone.
