Nutritional status, health literacy, and lifestyle factors associated with health-related quality of life in patients with decompensated cirrhosis: a cross-sectional study.

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: Liver cirrhosis is one of the leading causes of liver-related mortality worldwide. The disease typically progresses from an initially asymptomatic, compensated phase to decompensation, which adversely affects patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Identifying the factors that influence HRQoL and implementing effective interventions are essential for improving patient outcomes. Based on the health ecology theory, this study focuses on health literacy and nutritional status, with the aim of enhancing patients' quality of survival through targeted interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, using convenience sampling to recruit 202 patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Data collection included demographic information, biochemical indicators, and scores on health literacy, nutritional status, and HRQoL. Using IBM SPSS Statistics version 27, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were conducted to primarily explore the associations of nutritional status, health literacy, and lifestyle factors with HRQoL. Results: Correlation analysis showed that health literacy, nutritional status, sleep quality, and physical activity were significantly associated with patients' quality of life. Multiple linear regression revealed that nutritional status was independently associated with the HRQoL; notably, the model's explanatory power for HRQoL significantly increased ( Conclusion: This study demonstrated that both health literacy and nutritional status were significantly associated with the HRQoL among patients with decompensated cirrhosis. These findings may inform the design of targeted interventions to enhance health literacy and nutritional status, which may be beneficial for promoting self-management and improving clinical outcomes. Furthermore, they support the development of individualized management strategies.
