1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the factors associated with kinesiophobia among myocardial infarction (MI) survivors. Methods: This study was based on the Biopsychosocial (BPS) model. A multicenter, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at three tertiary hospitals in Changsha, Hunan Province, China, with MI survivors as participants. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart (TSK-SV Heart), Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), the 10-Item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used to collect data. Hierarchical regression analysis was employed to identify significant predictors of kinesiophobia. Results: A total of 414 MI survivors participated. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the total explanatory power of the model was 56.9%, with sociodemographic factors accounting for 17.0% and cognitive, behavioral, psychological and social support factors accounting for 39.9%. Kinesiophobia was significantly associated with age, gender, education level, disease duration, number of complications, exercise intensity, exercise duration, exercise frequency, exercise self-efficacy (ESE), depression, self-perceived burden (SPB), mental resilience, family resilience, perceived social support (PSS), and actual social support (ASS). Conclusions: This study identified several sociodemographic, psychosocial, and behavioral factors associated with kinesiophobia in MI survivors. Based on these findings, integrating psychological support, behavior-focused interventions, and strengthened social support systems may help reduce kinesiophobia in this population.
