Self-efficacy-kinesiophobia correlation in postoperative patients with primary liver cancer: the chain-mediating effect of postoperative fatigue and negative emotions.
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 2 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
Introduction: Early postoperative mobilization poses a momentous challenge for patients with primary liver cancer (PLC) after undergoing laparoscopic surgery, and the onset of kinesiophobia can adversely affect their physical activity, mental health, and overall quality of life. This study aims to investigate the impact of self-efficacy on kinesiophobia in postoperative patients with PLC, along with the chain-mediating effect of postoperative fatigue (POF) and negative emotions on self-efficacy and kinesiophobia. Methods: This cross-sectional study used demographic questionnaires, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-11 (TSK-11), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) to survey 328 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for PLC between January and June 2024. Results: There was a moderate negative correlation between self-efficacy and kinesiophobia in postoperative patients with PLC ( Conclusion: The prevalence of kinesiophobia is comparatively higher among patients after PLC surgery. Self-efficacy not only directly affects kinesiophobia but also indirectly influences it through POF and negative emotions. This study offers a scientific basis for creating effective interventions to alleviate the adverse physiological and psychological effects of kinesiophobia in postoperative patients with PLC.
