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
backgroundAs central participants in Public Health Emergency (PHE), medical staffs may face positive changes, such as post-traumatic growth, while being traumatised. However, previous research remains deficient in factors influencing Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG). The aim of this paper is to examine how resilience mediates the relationship between perceived social support and PTG among medical staff.
methodThis cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2023 among 730 healthcare workers at two tertiary-grade hospitals in China, utilizing random sampling. We employed descriptive statistics, univariate analyses, and structural equation modeling (SEM) to explore the mediating role of psychological resilience among these healthcare professionals.
resultsThe mean PTG score among medical staff was 60.48 (SD = 24.49). The direct impact of perceived social support on PTG was significant (0.218, 95% CI [0.083, 0.361], P < 0.001), constituting 49.98% of the total effect. Moreover, the indirect impact of perceived social support on PTG via resilience was also significant (0.218, 95% CI [0.119, 0.320], P < 0.001), accounting for 50.02% of the total effect.
conclusionThese findings underscore the importance of enhancing perceived social support and resilience in fostering post-traumatic growth among healthcare workers facing public-health emergencies. It suggests that interventions should focus on increasing perceived social support and resilience to foster positive psychological changes and improve the quality of healthcare services.
