1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 Psychological resilience is an increasingly recognized important protective factor for emotional health after solid organ transplantation; however, its role in the early post-transplant period is insufficiently explored. This study examined the role of psychological resilience in emotional health among kidney and liver transplant recipients, using a cross-sectional indirect-effect model. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional, multicenter study was conducted at 4 transplant centers in Poland. Adult kidney and liver transplant recipients were assessed the day before hospital discharge after transplantation (mean hospital stay: 19.62 days). The study included 117 participants (68.4% kidney and 31.6% liver transplant recipients). Perceived social support was assessed with the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), psychological resilience with the Psychological Resilience Scale (SPP-25), and overall emotional distress with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Cross-sectional mediation analyses tested an indirect-effect model with MSPSS as the independent variable (X), SPP-25 as the mediator (M), and emotional distress measured by the HADS as the outcome variable (Y). RESULTS Participants reported moderate to high psychological resilience and high perceived social support, particularly from family and significant others, along with low to moderate emotional distress. Mediation analyses showed associations between perceived social support and emotional distress were statistically significant only as indirect effects mediated by psychological resilience. CONCLUSIONS In the early post-transplant period, psychological resilience is statistically associated with emotional health and may serve as an important mediator linking perceived social support to lower levels of emotional distress. These findings are consistent with a theoretical indirect-effect model and underscore the need for longitudinal studies to clarify temporal relationships in psychological adaptation after transplantation.
