Self-reported treatment adherence in inflammatory bowel disease in Indian patients.

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
introductionNon-adherence to medical therapy is emerging as an important determinant of relapse in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
aimTo find the prevalence of and reasons for nonadherence to medical therapy in Indian patients with IBD and its correlation with disease outcome.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, we checked for adherence to treatment in 127 patients with IBD (117 ulcerative colitis and 10 Crohn's disease) using a questionnaire that inquired into frequency of missed doses, causes for missed doses, and its relation to relapse of disease.
resultsOf the 127 patients (mean age 42.8 years; 68 women), 103 (81%) were non-adherent to treatment, defined as taking 80% or less of the dose advised. The reasons for non-adherence (not mutually exclusive) were: forgetfulness-98 patients (77%), felt better-18 (14.2 %), high frequency of doses-13 (10.1%), no effect of medications-10 (7.87%), non-availability of medications-3 (2.3%). Non-adherent patients were three times more likely to develop a relapse as compared to those with adherence (OR 3.389, 95% CI 1.29-8.88, p=0.012).
conclusionsOver 80% of patients with IBD in this survey were non-adherent to medical treatment; forgetfulness was mentioned as the most common cause. Non-adherent patients were more likely to relapse. Patients need to be educated regarding the need for adherence to treatment in IBD.
