The role of health beliefs in affecting patients' chronic diabetic complication screening: a path analysis based on the health belief model.
Article in Journal of clinical nursing, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
AIMS AND
objectivesTo explore the role of health beliefs in affecting patients' chronic diabetic complication (CDC) screening.
backgroundPatients' adherence to the guideline-recommended CDC screening was far from optimal. While many demographic and clinical characteristics were documented to influence patients' adherence, psychological profiles, such as health beliefs, were not well studied before. It is crucial to understand how health beliefs affect patients' CDC screening behaviour and thus to provide implications for future intervention programmes.
designA cross-sectional study was conducted.
methods785 type 2 diabetes were enrolled from the community health centre in Wuhou District, Chengdu, China. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data regarding the demographic and clinical information, knowledge about CDC, health belief model constructs and CDC screening behaviour. Mediation analysis was performed to explore the mechanisms of health belief model constructs on CDC screening behaviour. The study methods were compliant with the STROBE checklist.
resultsKnowledge had a significant indirect effect on CDC screening behaviour through perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers and self-efficiency. Cues to action exerted both significant direct and indirect effects on CDC screening behaviour. The indirect effects of cues to action were exerted through perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers and self-efficiency.
conclusionHealth beliefs played vital roles in mediating the effects of knowledge and cues to action on patients' CDC screening behaviour. Health beliefs should be assessed and modified through creative educational methods. Strategies aimed at increasing cues to action are also expected to facilitate patients' CDC screening behaviour. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICES: The study contributes to the exploration of how health beliefs affect patients' CDC screening behaviour. The results could be used to inspire future community-based intervention programmes.
