Self-neglect in older adults: an evolutionary concept analysis.
Review in International journal of nursing studies advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Self-neglect in older adults is a global public health concern, affecting millions of older adults. It is, therefore, important to define the concept of self-neglect to enable recognition and intervention. Objective: The objective was to analyze the concept of older adults' self-neglect, providing a reference to help healthcare professionals understand it. Methods: A systematic search of relevant literature on older adults' self-neglect was conducted in the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Web of Science and CINAHL database. Rodgers' evolutionary method of concept analysis was used as a framework for the paper. Results: A total of 68 articles were included. Older adults' self-neglect included four defining characteristics: failure or inability to meet basic needs, risky or unsafe behaviors, diagnostic challenges in recognition, and social isolation or lack of interaction. Antecedents included physical, psychological, socio-environmental, and other related factors. Consequences included effects on the older adults themselves and effects on others and society. Conclusions: A theoretical definition and conceptual model of older adults' self-neglect was developed. The identified attributes, antecedents, and consequences can be utilized in nursing education, research, and intervention approaches.
