Delineating and clarifying the concept of self-care monitoring: a concept analysis.
Review in International journal of qualitative studies on health and well-being, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
aimTo delineate and clarify the meaning of the concept of self-care monitoring from a patient perspective.
methodsA systematic search was performed in the databases ASSIA, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and PubMed (January 2016-September 2021). A selection of 46 peer-reviewed articles was included in the study and analysed using Rodgers' Evolutionary Method for Concept Analysis.
resultsThe following four attributes were identified: Tracking symptoms, signs, and actions, Paying attention, Being confident, and Needing routines, creating a descriptive definition: "Self-care monitoring is an activity that means a person has to pay attention and be confident and needs routines for tracking symptoms, signs, and action." The antecedents of the concept were shown to be Increased knowledge, Wish for independence, and Commitment. The concepts' consequences were identified as Increased interaction, Perceived burden, and Enhanced well-being.
conclusionsThis concept analysis provides extensive understanding of self-care monitoring from a patient perspective. It was shown that the concept occurs when a person practices self-care monitoring at home either with or without devices. A descriptive definition was constructed and presented with exemplars to encourage practice of the concept in various healthcare settings and could be of relevance to people with chronic illnesses or other long-term conditions.
