Latent profiles of volume management behaviors and their relationship with symptom distress in patients with chronic heart failure.

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: To explore the latent categories of volume management behaviors in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and analyze their relationship with symptom distress. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized a convenience sampling method to select 552 CHF patients from the cardiology departments of Nantong Sixth People's Hospital and Nantong Fourth People's Hospital. Volume management behaviors were assessed using the Volume Management Behavior Scale, and symptom distress was evaluated using the Symptom Distress Questionnaire (SDQ), which measures the severity of eight core symptoms. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was employed to identify behavioral categories. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) and multiple linear regression were used to analyze differences in symptom distress across behavioral categories and to examine the independent predictive effect of behavioral classification on symptom distress. Results: The volume management behaviors of CHF patients were classified into three latent categories: active management type (43.1%), selective adherence type (27.7%), and passive dependence type (29.2%). Symptom distress scores showed a significant increasing trend across the three categories (active type: 10.5 ± 3.8; selective type: 13.2 ± 4.1; passive type: 16.3 ± 5.2, Conclusion: CHF patients exhibit three distinct clinical patterns of volume management behaviors, with the passive dependence type associated with the highest symptom burden. Behavioral category is a significant predictor of symptom distress. These findings provide an empirical basis for developing precise intervention strategies tailored to different behavioral phenotypes.
