[Therapy compliance in cases of hyperlipaemia, as measured through electronic monitors. Is a reminder calendar to avoid forgetfulness effective?].
Trial report in Atencion primaria, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 analyse the efficacy of the intervention with a calendar reminder of the medication taking in the treatment of the hyperlipidemias.
designControlled, randomised clinical trial.
settingTwelve clinics at 5 primary care centres, Spain.
participantsTwo hundred and twenty people diagnosed with hypercholesterolaemia according to Spanish Consensus criteria were chosen.
interventionTwo groups were formed. The control group (CG) of 110 patients, who received the doctor's normal treatment; and the Intervention group (IG) of 110 patients, who received in addition a calendar remider of medication taking. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Meausured of compliance was performed by moniotrs electronic (MEMS) and cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, and LDL-C determined at the start, and at the third and sixth months. Percentages of patients complying (80%-110%), the mean compliance percentage and the degree of control were compared. The reduction of absolute and relative risk (RAR and RRR) and the mean number of people that required an intervention in order to avoid non-compliance (NI) were calculated.
resultsOne hundred and eighty eight people (85.45%) completed the survey, 96 in the IG and 92 in the CG; 26.55% were non compliers with the therapy (CI, +/-6.3%) (IG, 10.5%, CI, +/-4.6%; CG, 42.6%, CI, +/-10.1% [P<.0001]). Mean compliance ran at 88,1% (IC, +/-4.6%) overall, at 92% (CI, +/-5.4%) in the IG and at 84% (CI, +/-7.4%) in the IG (P<.05). The RAR was 32.1%, the RRR 75.35%, and the NI was 3.1 patients. The patients with cholesterol controlled ran at 66.7% (CI, +/-9.4%) in the IG and 41.2% in the CG (P<.001).
conclusionsThe calendar reminder intervention is an efficacious way of improving the percentage of patients complying with lipaemia treatment.
