Determinants of self-perceived burden among rheumatoid arthritis patients: a cross-sectional study.

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
purposeTo investigate the current status of self-perceived burden (SPB) among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and analyze its influencing factors.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 140 RA patients recruited from four tertiary hospitals in Taiyuan city, Shanxi Province. The data was collected through structured questionnaires assessing: General Information Questionnaire, Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Scale, Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS).Multiple linear regression were employed to identify key predictors of SPB.
resultsFrom 112 distributed questionnaires, 104 were returned valid, with a 92.85% response rate. RA patients (40.38%) exhibited a moderate SPB, with a mean score of 29.10 ± 10.27. The primary concern was the emotional impact on caregivers, with the highest scores reflecting worry about caregiver burden (3.33±1.47). Multivariate linear regression analysis identified marital status (β = 0.19, P = 0.028), Activities of Daily Living (β=-0.26, P = 0.006), and family monthly income (β=-0.30, P = 0.002) as significant predictors of SPB in RA patients.
conclusionsThe findings underscore the moderate but significant SPB in RA patients, with key influences being Activities of Daily Living, marital status, and economic factors. These insights are vital for tailoring supportive care and shaping public health strategies to better serve this patient population. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Not applicable.
