Heterogeneity in kinesiophobia among postoperative aortic dissection survivors: associations with exercise self-efficacy, family support, and coping styles.

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
Background: Early postoperative kinesiophobia in aortic dissection survivors is associated with reduced exercise adherence, worsening physical and mental health, and diminished quality of life. This study aimed to identify kinesiophobia subtypes 1 month after surgery and to explore the associative pathways linking exercise self-efficacy, family support, coping styles, and kinesiophobia, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the future development of targeted interventions. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 309 aortic dissection survivors (September 2024-July 2025) from three university hospitals 1 month post-surgery. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart, the Self-Efficacy for Exercise Scale, the Family Apgar Index, and the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire. Latent profile analysis identified kinesiophobia subtypes, followed by testing a chain mediation model integrating exercise self-efficacy, family support, coping styles, and kinesiophobia. Results: Of the 309 patients, 73.14% ( Conclusion: Aortic dissection survivors exhibit high kinesiophobia with marked phenotypic heterogeneity. The relationships between exercise self-efficacy, family support, coping styles, and kinesiophobia must be strictly interpreted as associative rather than causal. While these pathways underscore potential intervention targets, they remain strictly hypothesis-generating. These findings provide a roadmap for future trials to validate before clinical translation and inform risk-stratified screening by identifying high-risk phenotypes (Subtype C) and the dominant role of family support.
