Illness representation and change in dietary habits in hypercholesterolemic patients.
Article in Journal of behavioral medicine, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
unlabelledThe association between a patient's illness representation and long-term changes in treatment adherence still needs to be clarified.
aimto evaluate the association between the representation of hypercholesterolemia and dietary modifications over 1-year, controlling for biopsychosocial factors.
methods208 hypercholesterolemic Caucasian patients. Measures of dietary intake, illness representation, and biopsychosocial factors were collected at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months.
resultsTwo multiple regressions were performed on the 1-year change in dietary habits; one with subjects with elevated fat consumption at baseline, another with individuals with low-moderate fat consumption. Higher scores on items reflecting an accurate illness representation at baseline were associated with greater dietary modification among patients of the first group. For patients with low-moderate total fat consumption, maintenance of dietary habits was associated to lower scores on the perception of stress and symptoms.
conclusionTo optimize adherence, intervention on illness representation should be adjusted according to initial dietary habits.
