Self-care and self-management in diabetes: concepts, theories and practices.
Review in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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.
Who cites it

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a progressive disorder that requires the active participation of individuals with diabetes to improve management and delay the onset of acute and chronic complications. Effective diabetes care necessitates a multifaceted approach involving insulin therapy, non-insulin anti-diabetic drugs and lifestyle adjustments. Self-management and self-care are integral, yet distinct, components of diabetes care. While both play a pivotal role in optimising diabetes care, their distinctions and similarities are often misunderstood. These terms are frequently used interchangeably. Although some activities are unique to each concept, inconsistencies exist in the published literature. Self-management refers to patient behaviours guided by healthcare professionals, whereas self-care encompasses autonomous actions patients take to maintain health and prevent complications. Both concepts involve activities that foster long-term collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals.
