Association between health literacy and kinesiophobia in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.

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
Objective: Kinesiophobia is a common barrier in the postoperative rehabilitation process of cardiovascular disease patients. This study aimed to investigate the association between health literacy and kinesiophobia in patients after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Methods: This cross-sectional study included 168 patients who had undergone PCI. Based on their scores on the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-Heart (TSK-Heart), patients were divided into high and low kinesiophobia groups. Univariate analyses were performed to compare baseline characteristics between the two groups. Three multivariate logistic regression models were constructed to analyze the association between health literacy and kinesiophobia after adjusting for different covariates. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to explore the potential nonlinear relationship between health literacy and kinesiophobia. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the discriminative ability of health literacy in identifying high versus low kinesiophobia. Interaction and stratified analyses were also performed to assess the effect modification of other variables on this association. Results: Patients in the high kinesiophobia group had lower education levels, longer disease duration, poorer cardiac function, and higher rates of previous myocardial infarction and multiple stent implantations ( Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that health literacy is negatively associated with kinesiophobia in patients after PCI, and a linear or near-linear relationship may exist between the two. This association is more pronounced in patients with higher education levels and better cardiac function.
