Psychological resilience trajectories and baseline factors associated with trajectory membership among patients newly initiating maintenance hemodialysis: A multicenter longitudinal study.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundPsychological resilience may change substantially during the early transition to maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), but its heterogeneous trajectories remain unclear. This study aimed to identify longitudinal trajectories of psychological resilience and examine baseline factors associated with trajectory membership among patients newly initiating maintenance hemodialysis.
methodsIn this multicenter longitudinal study, 693 patients newly initiating MHD were followed for 6 months across seven assessments. Resilience was measured using the Chinese Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and latent growth mixture modeling followed by multinomial logistic regression was used to identify resilience trajectories and examine associated baseline factors. Sensitivity analyses using the R3STEP procedure and a complete-case LGMM were conducted to account for classification uncertainty and potential attrition bias, respectively.
resultsAmong 693 patients, three resilience trajectories were identified: high-level rapidly decreasing (12.8%), low-stable (35.5%), and high-level stable (51.7%). Compared with the high-level stable trajectory, the high-level rapidly decreasing trajectory was associated with depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, sleep disturbance, and higher comorbidity burden, whereas the low-stable trajectory was additionally associated with older age, unmarried status, lower income, more frequent hospitalizations, and lower physical activity.
conclusionPsychological resilience among patients newly initiating MHD showed heterogeneous trajectories during the early dialysis period. The declining and low-stable trajectories were associated with different baseline psychological, clinical, and sociodemographic characteristics. These findings suggest that psychological resilience may change dynamically during early adaptation to dialysis and highlight the importance of early psychosocial assessment, ongoing monitoring, and targeted supportive care.
