Correlation between family function and self-management abilities in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver 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.
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
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the current state of family function and self-management abilities in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and analyze the correlation between the two.
methodsBaseline data were collected from 243 patients with MASLD, utilizing the Family Care Index and Self-Management Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to assess factors influencing self-management in these patients.
resultsThe mean score on the Self-Management Scale for the 243 MASLD patients was (92.74 ± 17.22), while the Family Function Scale score was (5.99 ± 1.61). Spearman correlation analysis indicated a positive correlation between family function and scores in disease prevention and control, daily living, disease knowledge, psychological awareness, and unhealthy lifestyle (rs = 0.220, 0.198, 0.227, 0.149, 0.257, 0.266; P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis identified several factors affecting self-management abilities in MASLD patients: smoking history (β'=-0.317), marital status (β'=0.292), family function (β'=0.279), educational level (β'=0.157), severity of fatty liver (β'=0.144), and gender (β'=-0.126) (P < 0.05).
conclusionA significant proportion of MASLD patients exhibit family function impairment, which severely affects their self-management abilities. Interventions aimed at improving family function in MASLD patients are necessary to enhance self-management behaviors and improve disease prognosis.
