Perceptions, needs and preferences of chronic disease self-management support among men experiencing homelessness in Montreal.
Article in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThis study explored the perceptions, needs and preferences for chronic disease self- management (SM) and SM support among men experiencing homelessness.
designA qualitative interpretive approach was used. Eighteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 homeless men with a chronic disease at an emergency overnight shelter of Welcome Hall Mission (WHM) in Montreal, Quebec. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed.
resultsThe majority of participants perceived SM as important, described confidence to perform medical SM behaviours, and creatively adapted their SM behaviours to homelessness. Emotional SM was described as most challenging, as it was intertwined with the experience of homelessness. Three vulnerable groups were identified: (a) those with no social networks, (b) severe physical symptoms and/or (c) co-morbid mental illness. The preferred mode of delivery for SM support was through consistent contacts with health-care providers (HCPs) and peer-support initiatives. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsDespite competing demands to fulfill basic needs, participants valued chronic disease SM and SM support. However, SM support must address complex challenges relating to homelessness including emotional SM, multiple vulnerabilities and barriers to forming relationships with HCPs.
