Alcohol use, vision therapy, children, mood … what predicts post-traumatic growth after concussion in women?

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
Background: Post-traumatic growth (PTG) refers to positive psychological change following a traumatic or life-altering event. Concussion, also known as mild traumatic brain injury(mTBI), results from a physical trauma that can lead to psychological outcomes such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as PTG. Research indicates that PTG and PTSD occur at similar rates among individuals who have experienced concussion, consistent with findings across other trauma-exposed populations. While women often experience more difficult concussion recoveries than men, they often experience greater PTG after trauma. Understanding the factors that support PTG in women with post-concussion symptoms may help guide clinical care to both foster PTG, and identify individuals who may require more targeted recovery support. Objectives: We examined how demographic, health behaviors, concussion-related, and mental health factors-as well as access to therapeutic services-relate to PTG in women. We also explored the association between PTG and traits such as resilience and flourishing following concussion. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from November 10-13, 2023, among U.S.-based women living with persistent post-concussion symptoms. PTG was assessed using the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI-X; cutoff: <75 = low PTG, ≥75 = moderate/high PTG), injury details, mood (PHQ-9, GAD-7), and persistent post-concussion symptoms (Rivermead Post-Concussion Questionnaire). Descriptive statistics compared groups. Logistic regression identified associated factors of PTG and estimated corresponding odds ratios. Results: A total of 434 PINK Concussion members responded to the survey with 116 (27%) completing all questions. The mean PTG score was 70.0 (SD = 26.9; median = 71; range = 1-125). Just over half (51.7%, Conclusion: This exploratory study highlights key demographic and psychosocial factors linked to PTG in women recovering from concussion. Modifiable characteristics such as resilience, flourishing, and lifestyle stability, particularly return to work and absence of alcohol use-were associated with higher PTG, offering potential intervention targets and helping to identify individuals who may require more intensive post-concussion support.
