Comparison between two generic questionnaires to assess satisfaction with medication in chronic diseases.
Article in PloS one, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07366268 (Evaluation of Topical Apremilast Nanoparticles in the Treatment of Plaque Psoriasis), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveThe objective of this work was to compare two generic questionnaires assessing patients' satisfaction with medication. In addition we tested whether satisfaction can predict adherence to medication regimens in patients with chronic diseases, and which dimensions of satisfaction are most involved.
methodsThis prospective, observational study was conducted over one year in a heterogeneous population of patients with various chronic diseases. Satisfaction with medication was assessed by using the TSQM® vII and the SatMed-Q® questionnaires, and adherence to treatment was assessed with the Morisky-Green questionnaire. Clinical pharmacists interviewed patients to collect clinical, demographic and therapeutic data.
results190 patients were enrolled. Both questionnaires showed excellent reliability and correlation was high (R=0.70; p<0.001). Adherence was correlated with satisfaction with medication whether assessed with the SatMed-Q® (R=0.23; p=0.002) or the TSQM® (R=0.17; p=0.02). Among different dimensions of satisfaction, convenience of use and side effects are prominent predictors of adherence.
conclusionAdherence is related to the patient's satisfaction with medication whether assessed with the TSQM® vII or the SatMed-Q®. Therefore, these simple questionnaires could be used as predictive tools to identify patients whos' adherence needs to be improved.
