A Study Evaluating Adherence and Compliance of Anti-rheumatic Drugs in Women Suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Article in Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundTreatment of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has always remained challenging, complex and associated with high level of non adherence, noncompliance in clinical practice.
aimTo evaluate the satisfaction/adherence/compliance rates of most commonly prescribed anti-rheumatic drugs among Indian women. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional descriptive obser-vational study was undertaken to evaluate the adherence/compliance rates of most commonly prescribed anti-rheumatic drugs among women in a tertiary care teaching hospital in North India. Hundred women on anti rheumatic treatment for rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed by American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria were evaluated at one point analysis for adherence/compliance/satisfaction.
resultsDissatisfaction rate with the anti rheumatic treatment was significantly high p<0.0001 among 68% of the women. Non compliance/ non adherence rate was also recorded very high among 52% and interrupted compliance rate was noticed among 6% of the women suffering from RA. Switch over rate to other treatment or doctors was also significantly (p<0.0001) very high among 66% of the women. Switch over to alternative treatment, treatment under quacks and intermittent self medication was recorded by 12%, 4% & 16% respectively. Among the self medication 12% of the women took corticosteroids and 4% preferred taking intermittent NSAIDs.
conclusionTreatment compliance is not very good with anti-rheumatic drugs among women patients of RA due to multi-factorial reasons.
