Domain-specific self-efficacy is associated with measures of functional capacity and quality of life among patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

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.

Abstract
rationaleThe relationship between self-efficacy and health behaviors is well established. However, little is known about the relationship between self-efficacy and health-related indicators among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
objectivesThe purpose of this cross-sectional cohort study was to test the hypothesis that the total score and specific subdomain scores of the COPD Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) are associated with functional capacity and quality of life in a group of patients with moderate to severe COPD.
methodsRelationships were examined in a cross-sectional study of baseline data collected as part of a randomized trial. Self-efficacy was measured using the five domains of the CSES: negative affect, emotional arousal, physical exertion, weather/environment, and behavioral. Measures of quality of life and functional capacity included SF-12: physical and mental composite scores, Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire dyspnea domain, and the 6-minute-walk test. Statistical analyses included Spearman correlation and categorical analyses of self-efficacy ("confident" vs. "not confident") using general linear models adjusting for potential confounders. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsThere were 325 patients enrolled with a mean age (standard deviation) of 68.5 (9.48) years, 49.5% male, and 91.69% non-Hispanic white. The negative affect, emotional arousal, and physical exertion domains were moderately correlated (range, 0.3-0.7) with the SF-12 mental composite score and Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire dyspnea domain. In models exploring each CSES domain as "confident" versus "not confident" and adjusting for age, sex, race, pack-years, and airflow obstruction severity, there were multiple clinically and statistically significant associations between the negative affect, emotional arousal, and physical exertion domains with functional capacity and quality of life.
conclusionsThe aggregated total CSES score was associated with better quality of life and functional capacity. Our analysis of subdomains revealed that the physical exertion, negative affect, and emotional arousal subdomains had the largest associations with functional capacity and quality of life indicators. These findings suggest that interventions to enhance self-efficacy may improve the functional capacity and quality of life of patients with moderate to severe COPD.
