Harvest plot of overall findings of reviews. Number below bar: review reference number. Number above bar: star weighting of review (based on size, revised A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews score, and explicit self-management focus). Height of bar: number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning that self-management component. Block color: consistent effect. Hatched: inconsistent effect (see Table 3).
