Effect of a medication-taking behavior feedback theory-based intervention on outcomes in patients with heart failure.
Trial report in Journal of cardiac failure, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 papers, 6 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
backgroundMedication nonadherence contributes to hospitalization and mortality, yet there have been few interventions tested that improve adherence and reduce hospitalization and mortality in heart failure (HF). Our objective was to determine whether an education intervention improved medication adherence and cardiac event-free survival. METHODS AND
resultsA randomized controlled trial was conducted on 82 HF patients. The intervention was based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and included feedback of medication-taking behavior using the Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS). Patients were assigned to one of three groups: 1) theory-based education plus MEMS feedback; 2) theory-based education only; or 3) usual care (control). Cardiac events were collected for 9 months. Patients in both intervention groups were more adherent over follow-up compared with the control group. In Cox regression, patients in either intervention group had a longer event-free survival compared with those in the control group before and after controlling age, marital status, financial status, ejection fraction, New York Heart Association functional class, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor use, and presence or absence of a significant other during the intervention (P < .05).
conclusionsUse of an intervention based on the TPB improves medication adherence and outcomes in patients with HF and therefore offers promise as a clinically applicable intervention to help patients with HF to adhere to their prescribed regimen.
