On the self-management ability of peritoneal dialysis patients: a cross-sectional study with a mixed approach.

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
objectiveTo understand the current status and influencing factors of self-management ability in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
methodsThis study employed an interpretive sequential mixed-methods approach and followed the STROBE and CONDITION guidelines. From June 2024 to February 2025, convenience sampling was used to survey 507 PD patients from three tertiary hospitals. Quantitative data were collected using five scales. Concurrently, purpose sampling was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with 13 patients until data saturation was reached. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, and qualitative data were analyzed thematically using Nvivo15. The results were integrated to provide a comprehensive understanding.
resultsThe quantitative results showed that PD patients had a self-management ability score of [55.00 (45.00, 60.00)] out of a possible 96, indicating a moderately low level. Multiple linear regression identified age, educational attainment, monthly household income, dialysis age, understanding of the disease, mastery of health education content, frequency of follow-up, and self-efficacy as significant influencing factors. The qualitative interviews identified two themes (obstructive and promoting factors) and nine sub-themes. The integration of results showed that qualitative findings confirmed and complemented the quantitative associations.
conclusionThe self-management ability of PD patients is moderately low. Medical staff should enhance the self-efficacy and social support of PD patients based on the influencing factors of their self-management ability, increase the frequency of follow-up, pay attention to PD patients with low education, advanced age and other types, strengthen training and monitoring for complications, and carry out targeted intervention to improve the self-management ability of PD patients.
