The Six-Month and One-Year Outcome of a Chronic Disease Self-Management Program Among Older Adults in Macao: A Quasi-Experimental Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionPromoting older adults to self-manage their chronic conditions is a major focus of the Macao government and healthcare professionals since more than 80% of older adults have suffered chronic conditions.
objectivesThis study evaluated the effect of the Chronic Disease Self-management Program (CDSMP) on self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, health status, and healthcare services utilization among Macao older adults with chronic disease over six months, and assessed whether the intervention effect persisted for one year.
methodsA longitudinal and quasi-experimental design was used in this study. A total number of 158 older adults with at least one chronic disease were recruited from three Macao community centers. Participants in the study group engaged in a six-session CDSMP in the community centers and participants in the control group received usual care. The Chronic Disease Self-management Questionnaire was used to assess the outcome measures for baseline, six-month and one-year assessment.
resultsThe age of subjects ranged from 60 to 88, 64.6% had three or more chronic diseases. The results showed that the subjects in the study group had significant improvement in self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, and some health-related indicators at the point of six months, and these improvements were still observable at the point of one year when comparing to the control group. The results also showed that the study group had a decrease in healthcare services utilization, but there was no significant difference between the two groups.
conclusionThis study confirmed that the community-dwelling older adults in Macao can acquire positive outcomes in self-management and health-related indicators from the CDSMP. Hence, it is worth promoting this program as a health promotion activity in community.
