Relationships among social support, coping style, self-stigma, and quality of life in patients with diabetic foot ulcer: A multicentre, cross-sectional study.
Article in International wound journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
Patients with diabetic foot ulcer have a significantly lower quality of life. Quality of life could be connected to other psychological or social processes. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between social support, decision regret, self-stigma, and quality of life in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. The sample of the study consisted of 229 diabetic foot ulcer patients. Data were collected from September 2019 to March 2020. The demographic and clinical information, the Stigma Scale for Chronic Illness, Medical Coping Scale, Social Support Scale, and Quality of Life scale were used to assess the quality life for diabetic foot ulcer. Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modelling were used for data analysis. The quality of life was negatively correlated with self-stigma, positively correlated with social support, giving up coping, and not significantly correlated with confrontation coping and avoidance coping. Self-stigma has significant indirect effects on quality of life through social support and coping style. Further clinical intervention strategies for decreasing self-stigma as well as strengthening social support and positive coping styles are needed to inform diabetic foot ulcer patients, thus improving their quality of life.
