Mediating effect of coping styles between self-efficacy and diabetes distress among Chinese patients with diabetic retinopathy: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDiabetes distress (DD) constitutes a negative emotional experience for patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR), having a detrimental impact on their physical and mental health.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to understand the current status and influencing factors of DD in patients with DR and to explore the relationship between self-efficacy, coping styles and DD.
designA cross-sectional study.
settingThe study was conducted at the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Zhejiang Province, China.
participantsPatients diagnosed with DR.
main outcome measuresThe Diabetes Distress Scale was used to assess DD.
resultsDD was present in more than half (53.07%) of patients with DR. There were significant differences in DD among patients with DR who reported different employment statuses, modes of residence and body mass index. Coping styles partially mediated the relationship between self-efficacy and DD, with the mediating effect accounting for 71% of the total effect.
conclusionConsidering the high prevalence of DD among patients with DR, healthcare professionals should pay more attention to the psychological needs of patients with DR. Effective interventions could be used to promote self-efficacy and coping styles of patients with DR, leading to lower levels of DD.
