Mediating Effects of Health Literacy Between Self-Efficacy and Quality of Life in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

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: The purpose of this study is to investigate how health literacy mediates the link between type 2 diabetes mellitus patients' self-efficacy and quality of life. Methods: Between January 2025 and April 2025, researchers gathered a convenience sample of T2DM patients from six hospitals in Shaanxi Province, China. These participants completed the Diabetes-Management SE Scale, Health Literacy Scale for Chronic Patients, and the Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire to assess their self-efficacy, health literacy, and quality of life. We used SPSS 27.0 and Mplus 8.3 software to perform statistical analysis of the relationships between variables. Results: Patients with T2DM had a moderate quality of life score of 59.48 ± 14.57. Self-efficacy and quality of life were positively correlated (r = 0.950, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the association between self-efficacy and quality of life was partially mediated by health literacy (β = 0.276, 95% CI = 0.201-0.346, p < 0.001), with the mediating impact explaining 36.0% of the overall effect. Conclusion: In patients with T2DM, self-efficacy and quality of life are substantially correlated, and health literacy mediates this relationship. The above findings provide scientific evidence for developing intervention strategies.
