Subjective Memory Complaints: A Conceptual Analysis.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To clarify the concept and connotation of subjective memory complaints. Methods: A total of 89 papers were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP database, MedLine, Web of Science, OVID and Scopus. The search time limit was from January 1, 1982 to December 31, 2024. Walker and Avant's conceptual analysis method was applied. Results: Through in-depth analysis, the defining attributes of the subjective memory complaints were memory dysfunction, cognitive decline risk, low help-seeking intentions, and notable memory-related negative emotions. Antecedents involve demographic, lifestyle, psychological, and health-related factors. Consequences include neurodegenerative diseases, anxiety, depression, and reduced quality of life. Multiple assessment tools such as the Subjective Memory Complaints Questionnaire and Memory Assessment Complaint Questionnaire were presented, providing means for measuring SMC in research and clinical practice. Conclusion: Defining this concept aids early screening and intervention for MCI and AD, helping clinical staff develop strategies to improve cognitive function, quality of life, and mental health.
