Reflexivity in Heideggerian Hermeneutic Phenomenology: The Hermeneutic Phenomenological Circle.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. 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
aimTo discuss reflexivity for conducting hermeneutic phenomenology and to present the hermeneutic phenomenological circle.
designDiscussion paper.
methodsWe employed data on the lived experience of loneliness of older adults in residential care homes during the COVID-19 pandemic to demonstrate the reflexivity required for hermeneutic phenomenology. We showcased a reflective process grounded in Heidegger's notions of Being and temporality to uncover the context of meaningfulness and its temporal influence on being.
resultsWe proposed a hermeneutic phenomenological circle encompassing four relations passing between Being, the interpreter and being. The circle was successfully applied to demonstrate the reflexivity required to conduct hermeneutic phenomenology.
conclusionsEngaging in reflexivity requires the researcher to develop knowledge about the philosophy of hermeneutic phenomenology. The hermeneutic phenomenological circle facilitates researchers in anchoring their reflections in Being and temporality. IMPLICATIONS: The hermeneutic phenomenological circle serves as a useful tool for researchers/health professionals to learn hermeneutic phenomenology and to facilitate researchers/health professionals at all career stages to engage in reflexivity.
