Latent profile analysis of the symptoms for posttraumatic stress disorder and psychological resilience in Chinese adolescents experiencing post Covid-19: a quantetative study.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to identify distinct, person-centered profiles of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and psychological resilience among Chinese adolescents experiencing post-COVID-19, and to explore factors associated with profile membership.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from March to May 2023, and a total of 932 adolescents were recruited from Chongqing in China. Participants completed the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). To assess and control for potential common method bias, the common latent factor (CLF) method was employed within a confirmatory factor analysis framework. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to identify homogeneous subgroups based on PTSD and resilience scores. Differences in scale scores across the resulting profiles were examined using one-way ANOVA, with post-hoc pairwise comparisons conducted using the Bonferroni correction to control Type I error. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to explore predictors associated with membership in the different latent profiles.
resultsAmong 932 adolescents experiencing long COVID, PTSD-resilience models showed five latent profiles: "low resilience-medium PTSD" (10.63%), "moderately low resilience-moderately high PTSD" (6.77%), "medium resilience-moderately low PTSD" (27.61%), "moderately high resilience-high PTSD" (30.93%), and "high resilience-low PTSD" (24.06%). Women gender, number of COVID-19 vaccinations, and fear of severe reinfection were significantly associated with profile membership.
conclusionsOur research presents the first report on the intricate coexistence patterns between PTSD and resilience among adolescents, significantly expanding our understanding of the protective factors for adolescent mental health. As a crucial buffering mechanism against PTSD, resilience underscores the urgency for every citizen in the post-pandemic era to identify adolescents who may be at high risk of PTSD and/or exhibit low resilience, and to promptly initiate targeted therapeutic interventions and rehabilitation efforts.
