COVID-19's disruptions to daily life and pandemic fatigue during the pandemic in Chinese people: a moderated mediation effect of perceived stress and social support.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundPeople experienced significant disruptions in their daily lives due to COVID-19, leading to pandemic fatigue, however the underlying mechanisms have rarely been investigated. This study explored the relationship between COVID-19's disruptions to daily life and pandemic fatigue by examining the potential role of perceived stress and perceived social support.
methodsA cross-sectional questionnaire survey via the Wenjuanxing online platform using a convenience sampling approach was conducted from April to May 2022 in Shanghai Municipality, Jiangsu Province, and Zhejiang Province, China. Of the 2112 initial participants, 88 invalid questionnaires were excluded due to missing key variables or logical errors, yielding 2024 valid samples included (efficiency rate of 95.8%). Moderated mediation analysis was carried out applying Hayes' PROCESS macro.
resultsCOVID-19's disruptions to daily life was positively associated with pandemic fatigue (β = 0.319, p < 0.001), while perceived stress partially mediated this relationship (β = 0.107, 95% CI = [0.088, 0.128]), accounting for 33.5% of the total effect. Perceived social support moderated the direct effect of COVID-19's disruptions on pandemic fatigue (β= -0.113, p < 0.001) and the indirect effect of perceived stress by buffering its effect on pandemic fatigue (β= -0.102, p < 0.001), thus the moderated mediation effect was established.
conclusionThis study revealed a plausible mechanism that explains pandemic fatigue during the COVID-19 through understanding the role of perceived stress and social support, providing theoretical and practical inputs for formulating intervention strategies.
