1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo map existing scientific evidence on hope in working-age adults facing irreversible vision loss by identifying concepts, approaches, and gaps in the literature.

methodA scoping review was conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines using international databases and grey literature, covering studies published between 2000 and 2025. The identified studies underwent a process of identification, selection, data extraction, and thematic synthesis by two independent reviewers, with the support of NVivo® software.

resultsOf the 261 studies identified through the literature search, six met the inclusion criteria. Analysis of the included studies allowed the identification of four main topics: (1) Concept and sources of hope; (2) Hope as a coping mechanism; (3) Psychosocial adjustment; and (4) Implications for clinical practice. Hope emerged as a multidimensional and dynamic phenomenon, with a direct impact on adaptation, quality of life, and the meaning attributed to the experience of vision loss.

conclusionHope plays a fundamental role in the adaptation process to vision loss among working-age adults, with important implications for the development of person-centered nursing practices. Further research in this field will contribute to strengthening the theoretical knowledge of nursing science and guiding clinical interventions aimed at promoting hope.
