1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Decision self-efficacy is a key component of effective self-management in chronic diseases, yet little is known about its status and determinants among patients with pneumoconiosis. This study aimed to assess decision-making self-efficacy and identify its socio-demographic and clinical predictors in Chinese adults with pneumoconiosis. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 268 patients with pneumoconiosis recruited from a tertiary hospital in Ganzhou, China. Data were collected using a general demographic questionnaire and the Chinese version of the Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale. Independent-samples Results: The mean decision-making self-efficacy score among patients with pneumoconiosis was 56.75 ± 17.54, indicating a moderate-to-low level. Greater decision-making self-efficacy was significantly associated with higher educational level and higher monthly income. In contrast, advanced disease stage, being widowed or divorced, home oxygen therapy, and anxiety were linked to lower self-efficacy. A significant interaction between education and income indicated that the beneficial effect of education was amplified among higher-income patients ( Conclusion: Decision-making self-efficacy among patients with pneumoconiosis is suboptimal and influenced by socio-economic, clinical, and psychosocial factors. Individualized decision-support strategies should be developed to enhance patients' decision-making self-efficacy and promote active participation in treatment decision-making, particularly for patients with lower education or income, advanced disease, or limited social support.
