Determinants of non-communicable disease management among support staff in Putrajaya, Malaysia: The mediating role of attitude.
Article in PloS one, 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
Non-communicable disease (NCD) is a major global health issue that contributes to morbidity and mortality problems across countries, including Malaysia. Individuals and social environment are increasingly recognized as critical factors that impact NCDs. Low-income households are a potentially vulnerable group in managing chronic diseases. Therefore, this study aims to examine the factors that influence the management of NCD. In addition, this study examines the role of attitude on the relationship between intrapersonal factor (knowledge) and NCD management. This study employs a cross-sectional survey of 200 support staff with NCD at selected ministries in Putrajaya, Malaysia. The data collected included socio-demographic information, knowledge of NCDs, attitudes towards NCDs, and the Chronic Illness Resources Survey (CIRS). Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27 and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 24 were employed to analyze the data through descriptive analysis and Structural Equation Model (SEM). The path analysis revealed that attitude, community, and societal factors significantly influence NCD management. Analysis of mediating effects indicated that attitude served as a significant mediator in the relationship between intrapersonal factor (knowledge) and NCD management. Hence, these findings provide a better understanding of influences and mediating effects, highlighting the need for tailored interventions to address this issue to improve NCD management.
