Kinesiophobia in patients with heart failure: concept analysis using Rodgers' evolutionary approach.
Review in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Kinesiophobia, a prevalent and multifaceted issue among patients with heart failure (HF), significantly impedes physical activity, hampers disease management, and delays recovery. An analysis of kinesiophobia can clarify its characteristics and inform strategies for improving patient care and rehabilitation. Objective: To establish a comprehensive conceptual model of kinesiophobia in patients with HF by systematically analyzing its attributes, antecedents, and consequences using Rodgers' evolutionary method. Method: A concept analysis using Rodgers' evolutionary method identified the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of kinesiophobia. A systematic search of Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycInfo yielded 30 articles published from database inception to 2025 for analysis. Results: Kinesiophobia is characterized by four attributes: symptom distress, complex emotional responses, avoidance behavior, and cognitive bias. Its antecedents include demographic characteristics, disease-related factors, psychological and emotional factors, physical functions and coping strategies, and social support status. The consequences of kinesiophobia encompass three main themes: physical deterioration and increased health risks, psychological burden, and impaired disease management and recovery. Conclusion: This concept analysis enhances understanding of kinesiophobia in HF patients, offering insights into the factors influencing fear of movement and emphasizing the need for early identification and targeted interventions. This understanding can guide clinicians in promoting safe physical activity, improving rehabilitation adherence, and enhancing patient recovery and well-being.
