What is patient adherence? A terminology overview.
Article in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 3 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
It is well known that patient adherence to appropriately prescribed medications is essential for treatment efficacy and positive therapeutic outcomes. It is also understood that patients who are prescribed medications do not necessarily take them as prescribed. Indeed, variation in patients' medication-taking is an age old conundrum which remains the focus of much interest amongst researchers and clinicians owing to its far-reaching consequences. Despite the extensive adherence-related research over the last four decades and a recent surge in this field, there remains a lack of uniformity in the terminology used to describe adherence and its related concepts. In turn, it is often difficult to conduct comparisons between adherence-related studies, which may be associated with the non-cumulative nature of work in this field. The purpose of this commentary is to provide an overview of key terminology relating to the field of adherence research.
