Perceived stress and sleep quality in young and middle-aged patients with coronary heart disease: the mediating role of perceived social support and mental health literacy.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Globally, there is an increasing emphasis on mental health, particularly its role in the recovery of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Although previous studies have shown that perceived social support (PSS), mental health literacy (MHL), perceived stress and sleep quality are significantly related, the interaction mechanism remains unclear. Objectives: To explore the status of perceived stress, sleep quality, PSS and MHL in young and middle-aged patients with CHD and to test the mediating effect of PSS and MHL between perceived stress and sleep quality. Methods: A convenience sample of 183 young and middle-aged patients with CHD was enrolled between September 2023 and January 2024. Data were collected using a demographic characteristics questionnaire, the mental health literacy scale, the perceived social support scale, the Chinese perceived stress scale, and the Athens insomnia scale. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine relationships between variables, while linear regression analysis was used to assess the predictive effects of perceived stress, PSS, and MHL on sleep quality. Additionally, the PROCESS 4.2 macro for SPSS was employed to explore the mediating roles of PSS and MHL in the relationship between patients' perceived stress and sleep quality. Results: Correlation analysis revealed that perceived stress in young and middle-aged patients with CHD was negatively correlated with MHL ( Conclusion: Perceived stress not only directly affected sleep quality in young and middle-aged patients with CHD but also could indirectly affect sleep quality through PSS and MHL.
