Configuration Path Study of Influencing Factors on Health Information-Sharing Behavior among Users of Online Health Communities: Based on SEM and fsQCA Methods.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study examines the determinants that drive the behavior of sharing health information within online health communities. Leveraging the Theory of Planned Behavior, the Technology Acceptance Model, and the "Knowledge-Attitude-Practice" theory, a comprehensive model elucidating the key elements that sway the health information-sharing behavior among users of online health communities is designed. This model is validated through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). Findings derived from the SEM suggest that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived trust, and perceived behavioral control exert a significant positive impact on attitudes towards health information sharing, the intention to share health information, and the actual health information-sharing behavior. The fsQCA unfolds two unique configuration path models that lead to the emergence of health information-sharing behavior: one predicated on perceived trust and sharing intention, and the other on perceived usefulness, behavioral control, and sharing attitude. This research provides invaluable insights, fostering a deeper comprehension of the dynamics involved in health information sharing within online communities, thereby directing the design of more effective health platforms to augment user engagement and enable informed health decisions.
