1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo examine whether and how self-management and psychological resilience could moderate the relationships between symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among hypertensive patients in China.

methodsThis was a cross-sectional study of 220 participants recruited from January to May, 2018. Demographic and clinical information were obtained from medical records and by patient interview. The Chinese version of 17-item Hypertension-specific Symptom Scale, 21-item Self-Management Scale, and 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) as well as Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12) were used to collect information in this research. The moderation effects of self-management and psychological resilience were explored using the PROCESS macro for SPSS.

resultsAmong all patients, 128 (58.2%) were female, 106 (48.2%) had a bachelor degree or higher, and 133 (60.5%) had moderate to severe Charlson Comorbidity Index. Both self-management and psychological resilience were negatively correlated to symptoms (r = - 0.259, p < 0.001; r = - 0.282, p < 0.001) but positively correlated to physical (r = 0.316, p < 0.001; r = 0.344, p < 0.001) and mental (r = 0.273, p < 0.001; r = 0.309, p < 0.001) HRQoL. After controlling for potential covariates, self-management could moderate the associations between symptoms and physical HRQoL (p = 0.041, ΔR

conclusionsFor hypertension patients, HRQoL is dependent on the severity of symptoms, engagement of self-management behaviors, and psychological resilience, which should be carefully considered when to improve patients' HRQoL by health care providers.
