Effectiveness of a forgiveness-based intervention to promote post-traumatic growth in hemodialysis patients: an experimental controlled study.

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) is a key indicator of psychological wellbeing and quality of life in patients undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD). Forgiveness, as a positive psychological process, involves transforming negative responses into adaptive ones after trauma and may facilitate PTG by reducing resentment and promoting emotional recovery. However, empirical evidence on the effectiveness of forgiveness-based interventions in enhancing PTG remains limited, particularly among hemodialysis patients. Objective: This study aimed to develop a forgiveness-based intervention program for post-traumatic growth in patients undergoing MHD and to evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: This study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Yunnan Province with 78 maintenance hemodialysis patients assigned to an intervention group ( Results: Both groups were comparable at baseline across all outcome measures. Post-traumatic growth significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the control group at the end of the intervention (T2: Conclusions: The forgiveness-based intervention program showed beneficial effects on post-traumatic growth, forgiveness, and emotional adjustment in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. As a low-cost approach, it has the potential to be incorporated into routine dialysis care to help promote post-traumatic growth in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis.
