Guilt, Shame and Self-Perceived Burden among Older Adults with Multiple Long-Term Conditions: A Scoping Review.
Review in Journal of health psychology, 2026. 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
This scoping review aimed to map current research on guilt, shame and self-perceived burden among older adults with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs). The review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute's (JBI) scoping reviews guidelines. Systematic searches were conducted in six databases. Paired reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts and full-texts, using pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Relevant data were extracted and reviewed by different team members. Thirty-six studies were included. Fifteen focused on guilt, three on shame, ten on self-perceived burden and eight discussed more than one of these feelings. Guilt was a predominant issue among older adults living with MLTCs. Gender, number, types and severity of comorbidities were determinant factors for feeling guilt, shame and/or burden. These findings highlight the importance of addressing self-conscious emotions in health psychology research and practice, to improve help-seeking and self-management among older adults with multimorbidity.
