Relationships among disease knowledge, social support, anxiety and self-efficacy in patients after total knee arthroplasty: A chain mediating effect.
Article in Nursing open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
aimTo explore relationships among disease knowledge, social support, anxiety and self-efficacy in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through a chain mediating model.
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsA total of 282 post-TKA patients from three tertiary hospitals in Jinan, Shandong Province are conveniently chosen as the subjects of this study. We use established scales to assess relevant variables and apply the PROCESS 3.5 software of SPSS to construct a chain mediating effect.
resultsThe results of this study found that disease knowledge can directly affect patients' self-efficacy (β = 0.466, t = 5.227, p < 0.001). Social support and anxiety play a significant mediating role between disease knowledge and self-efficacy, with an overall mediating effect value of 0.257. After including social support and anxiety, the direct effect value of disease knowledge on self-efficacy is 0.210.
conclusionDisease knowledge in TKA patients can significantly and positively predict their post-operative self-efficacy. Between disease knowledge and self-efficacy, there is not only an independent mediating effect of social support and anxiety but also a chain mediating effect. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The patients were actively involved in the data collection for this study.
