Mediating effect of coping style between family resilience and demoralization in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.

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
This study aimed to examine the relationship between family resilience and demoralization syndrome (DS) in patients with decompensated cirrhosis and explore the mediating role of coping styles in this association. A survey of 260 patients with decompensated cirrhosis was conducted in the Department of Gastroenterology of a 3 A hospital in Jinan from September 2024 to March 2025 using the Mandarin Version of the Demoralization Scale (DS-MV), Chinese version of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS-C) and Medical Coping Style Scale (MCMQ). Descriptive analysis and nonparametric test were performed using Free Statistics software version 2.2. Spearman correlation analysis and regression analysis were conducted with SPSS 27.0. The structural equation model was constructed via AMOS 28.0. The median DS score in patients with liver cirrhosis was 22, with an interquartile range (IQR) of 7-28. The proportion of patients with severe DS was 18.46%. Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated that DS was negatively correlated with family resilience, confrontation, and avoidance and positively correlated with acceptance-resignation (r = -0.668, p < 0.01; r = -0.314, p < 0.01; r = -0.162, p < 0.01; r = 0.540, p < 0.01). Mediation analysis revealed that acceptance-resignation partially mediated the relationship between family resilience and DS, accounting for 35.4% of the total effect (p < 0.001). Acceptance-resignation was identified as a partial mediator of the relationship between family resilience and DS. Therefore, attention should be paid to DS in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Family resilience can also be used to reduce DS levels.
