Mechanisms underlying the association between perceived recurrence risk and negative emotions in patients with ischemic stroke: a cross-sectional study.

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 examine the relationships among perceived risk of recurrence, attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help, negative emotions, and family care in patients with ischemic stroke, and to test a moderated mediation model. The findings aim to provide a scientific basis for optimizing clinical psychological interventions and family support strategies. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 311 patients with ischemic stroke recruited from three tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province, China. Data were collected using validated scales measuring perceived recurrence risk, help-seeking attitudes, negative emotions, and family care. Mediation and moderated mediation analyses were performed using SPSS 27.0 and PROCESS macro (Models 4 and 58), with 5, 000 bootstrap resamples to estimate 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Perceived recurrence risk was positively associated with negative emotions ( Conclusion: Perceived recurrence risk, help-seeking attitudes, and negative emotions are significantly associated in patients with ischemic stroke. Help-seeking attitudes partially explain this association, while family care plays a significant moderating role in both stages. These findings highlight the importance of psychological and family-centered support in stroke rehabilitation. However, causal interpretations should be made cautiously due to the cross-sectional design.
