Family Function and Self-Management of Patients With Early Chronic Kidney Disease: The Mediating Roles of Self-Perceived Burden and Ego Depletion.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Effective self-management in the early stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is key to delaying disease progression. However, no studies have confirmed that the combined support of internal individual factors and external family environmental factors may play an important role in the self-management of patients with early CKD. Purpose: This current study aims to explore the effect of family function on the self-management of patients with early CKD and examine the mediating roles of self-perceived burden and ego depletion. Patients and Methods: Three hundred and sixty patients with stage 1-3 CKD participated in the cross-sectional survey and completed structured questionnaires, including the family APGAR index, self-perceived burden scale, self-regulatory fatigue scale and chronic kidney disease self-management instrument. Mplus 8.3 was used to establish a structural equation model. Results: Family function had a positive predictive effect on self-management ( Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of self-management for patients and their families and provides new important theoretical guidance for multiple interventions of improving family function, reducing self-perceived burden and ego depletion to improve self-management, which is of great value in delaying the progression of renal disease.
