A Systematic Review of Relationships Between Illness Identity and Health-Related Outcomes in Individuals with Chronic Illnesses.

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
The aim of the current systematic review is to examine relationships among illness identity and illness-specific variables, adherence, and health-related outcomes. Studies were included if they (a) presented quantitative data on illness identity's relationship with adherence or health-related outcomes, (b) included chronic medical illness samples, (c) were peer-reviewed, and (d) were available in English. PubMed and EBSCOhost were searched. Quality was evaluated using the EPHPP Tool. Twelve papers were included. Moderate evidence supports the relationship between engulfment, enrichment, and illness complexity. Moderate evidence supports relationships between multiple identities and adherence as well as with various health-related outcomes. There is somewhat consistent evidence for associations between engulfment and negative health-related outcomes. It may be important to inform healthcare providers of possible identity challenges that patients face and their associations with adherence and health-related outcomes. Routine illness identity screening may allow for identification of individuals who would benefit from increased support.
