The status and influencing factors of health behavior with first-ever ischemic stroke in young adults: a structural equation model.
Article in BMC neurology, 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
objectivesTo investigate the status of health behavior and its influencing factors in stroke among young adults.
backgroundPrevious research on young stroke patients has focused mainly on clinical risk factors, with limited attention paid to health behavior. Factors associated with health behavior in younger adults is unclear.
methodsA cross-sectional survey of 220 Chinese younger adults was conducted. A structural equation model(SEM) identified factors associated with health behavior and their effect magnitude.
resultsThe young adult participants had a mean age of 39.62 ± 4.85 years(18 to 44 years), with male accounting for the majority (74.5%, n = 164). Mean the Health Behavior Scale for Stroke Patients (HBS-SP) score was 65.64 (± 12.30). The results showed that personal mastery, social support, health literacy, self-efficacy, health belief, occupation and comorbidities were independently associated with HBS-SP(p < 0.05). SEM showed HBS-SP had the strongest association with personal mastery, followed by health literacy, Health belief, Self-efficacy, social support.
conclusionsFuture research on tailored health behavior interventions should prioritize the enhancement of personal mastery, health literacy, and health beliefs, alongside the strengthening of self-efficacy and the expansion of social support systems. These interconnected psychosocial and contextual factors serve as critical underpinnings for sustainable health behavior change, and targeted efforts to optimize them will likely yield more effective and equitable intervention outcomes in clinical, community, or public health settings.
