Self-management interventions for people with multiple sclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.
Article in Health science reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background and Aims: Educational self-management interventions (SMI) have an important role in improving symptom management, preventing relapse of multiple sclerosis (MS) and promoting quality of life (QoL) of these patients; since there is little knowledge about overall effectiveness of MS self-management programs and which types of SMI improves the outcomes, this research aims to assess the efficacy of structured SMI in improving health outcomes in people with MS (PwMS) by synthesizing and compare outcomes from related randomized controlled trials. Methods: In the present systematic review protocol, the keywords related to self-management and MS will be searched in electronic databases including (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials [CENTRAL]), gray literature resources and key journals from 2000 to July 2023. Research-related articles will be collected and after removing duplicate articles, will be included in the study. In the screening step, titles and abstracts of articles will be reviewed and after deleting irrelevant articles, the full text of related articles will be evaluated independently by two researchers and data will be extracted from final articles and the findings will be categorized in an extraction table. Risk of bias will be assessed by using the Cochrane collaboration's tool. If possible, the data will be analyzed using random effect models and the statistical analysis will be performed using STATA software (version 14.2) developed by StataCorp. Discussion: Comparative effectiveness of SMI is currently unknown. We will analyze outcome measures used to assess effectiveness of self-management education in improving QoL, depression, self-efficacy, pain, and fatigue. These findings will help identify the most promising components of SMIs, guiding targeted interventions for specific subpopulations, and facilitating the design of better interventions.
