The chain mediating role of social support and yielding coping style between health literacy and symptom burden in patients with chronic heart failure.

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
Objective: To explore the mediating effects of social support and coping style on health literacy and symptom burden in patients with chronic heart failure. Methods: A total of 200 patients with chronic heart failure in Grade 3A Hospitals in Jiangsu province of China were investigated by using General Data Questionnaire, Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale for Heart Failure, Chinese Version of Heart Failure Specific Health Literacy Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire. Results: Symptom burden score of patients with chronic heart failure was (0.73 ± 0.45), health literacy score was (29.38 ± 9.76), social support score was (59.15 ± 10.58), and yielding coping style score was (9.18 ± 4.13). There were significant correlations among health literacy, social support, coping style and symptom burden in patients with chronic heart failure. The results of mediating effect analysis showed that health literacy of patients with chronic heart failure could influence symptom burden through the chain mediating effect of social support-yielding coping style. The effect size was -0.008, and the 95% confidence interval did not include 0 (-0.011, -0.006). Conclusion: The health literacy of patients with chronic heart failure has an indirect impact on the burden of symptoms through social support and yielding coping style, suggesting that medical staff should take social support and coping style as a breakthrough from the perspective of health literacy of patients with chronic heart failure, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the health literacy of patients with chronic heart failure and reducing the burden of symptoms.
