The mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between self-management and health-promoting behaviors in post-PCI patients.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCoronary artery disease (CAD) has become one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. Self-management and self-efficacy are critical for enhancing healthy lifestyles in patients with postoperative CAD and are strongly associated with health-promoting behaviors. However, the underlying mechanisms of this association remain unclear. PURPOSE: To explore the mediating role of self-efficacy between self-management and health-promoting behaviors in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
methodsFrom November 2024 to March 2025, 400 post-PCI patients were selected by convenience sampling from a tertiary first-class hospital in Xinjiang. Surveys were administered using a general information questionnaire, a self-management scale, a self-efficacy scale, and a health-promoting lifestyle scale. Structural equation modelling was employed to investigate the pathways of action among the three variables.
resultsThe scores for self-management behaviour, self-efficacy, and health-promoting lifestyle were (96.66 ± 10.11) scores, (44.49 ± 6.10) scores, and (162.91 ± 12.24) scores, respectively, with positive correlations between each pair of items. Self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between self-management and health-promoting behaviors, with a standardized indirect effect of 0.317, accounting for 61.3% of the total effect.
conclusionsSelf-efficacy plays a partial mediating role between self-management and health-promoting behaviors. Healthcare professionals should pay attention to the self-efficacy of patients post-PCI to enhance their awareness of personal health and strengthen self-management, thereby promoting proactive adoption of healthy lifestyles.
