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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between fear of progression and post-traumatic growth in adults with lymphoma and determine whether avoidance coping mediates this relationship.
methodsThis was a multicenter, cross-sectional study. We used convenience sampling to recruit 322 patients with lymphoma from four tertiary hospitals in Fujian and Anhui provinces, China, between February and August 2023. Participants completed demographic and clinical information questionnaires, the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form, the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, and the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory.
resultsAmong Chinese patients with lymphoma, the total fear of progression, avoidance coping, and post-traumatic growth scores were 31.91 ± 8.29, 15.67 ± 3.07, and 59.45 ± 14.61, respectively. Fear of progression was positively correlated with avoidance coping, with no significant associations between fear of progression and post-traumatic growth. Avoidance coping was positively correlated with post-traumatic growth. Additionally, avoidance coping exerted a suppression effect between fear of progression and post-traumatic growth.
conclusionPatients with lymphoma reported moderate-to-high fear of progression and high post-traumatic growth, alongside moderate avoidance coping. Fear of progression predicted post-traumatic growth, while avoidance coping suppressed this effect. These findings highlight the complex role of avoidance coping in psychological adaptation and underscore the need for further qualitative and research to explore its mechanisms in post-traumatic growth. The results offer valuable insights for developing culturally sensitive psychosocial interventions and coping assessments tailored to adults with lymphoma.
