Latent Profile Analysis of Self-Management Ability and Its Influencing Factors in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo explore the latent classes and various characteristics of self-management ability of patients with atrial fibrillation, and to analyse the influencing factors.
designA cross-sectional study design.
methodsA convenience sampling was used to select 208 patients with atrial fibrillation from 2 hospitals in Shandong Province, China between August 2022 and June 2023. The survey tools included the general data questionnaire, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire and Self-Management Ability Scale for patients with atrial fibrillation. Data were analysed using latent profile analysis, univariate analysis and binary logistic regression.
resultsThe results of the latent profile analysis showed that the self-management ability of patients with atrial fibrillation was divided into two different latent classes. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that disease duration, primary caregiver and illness perception were significantly associated with self-management ability.
conclusionsThere are 2 potential categories of self-management ability in patients with atrial fibrillation. Appropriate individualised health management interventions for patients with atrial fibrillation, focusing on the patient's disease duration, primary caregiver and illness perception, may improve self-management in these patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE: This study is beneficial in providing information reference for medical staff. Medical staff can implement targeted interventions based on the categorical characteristics of the different profiles of self-management ability in patients with atrial fibrillation to improve their self-management ability. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: We thank all participants for taking part in the survey throughout the study.
