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
objectiveThere are limited number of studies describing the reasons and interventions of non-adherence to cardiovascular medications in United Arab Emirates (UAE). We aimed to implement and evaluate the behavioral and educational tools that indicate the reasons of non-adherence in patients with cardiovascular diseases and improve patient's adherence to their cardiovascular medications.
methodsIn this prospective interventional study, we recruited patients (n = 300) with cardiovascular diseases from three family medicine clinics in Al Ain, UAE in 2010. We assessed patients' responses to a validated brief medication questionnaire (BMQ).
resultsAt the end of the study, we observed a significant improvement in adherence. When we compared pre- and post-interventions, the mean (± standard deviation, SD) score for non-adherence to current regimen were 4.1 ± 0.2 vs. 3.0 ± 0.3 (p = 0.034); indication of negative believes or motivational barriers scores was 1.8 ± 0.4 vs. 0.9 ± 0.1 (p = 0.027); the indication of recall barrier scores was 1.6 ± 0.1 vs. 0.8 ± 0.1 (p = 0.014); and the indication of access barrier scores was 1.6 ± 0.2 vs. 0.7 ± 0.2 (p = 0.019). Mean blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, low density lipoprotein and postprandial blood glucose decreased significantly (p < 0.01) post-intervention.
conclusionWe reported that implemented multifaceted tools targeting patients, provider and healthcare system have improved the adherence to cardiovascular medications. Our interventions managed to improve patients' clinical outcome via improving adherence to prescribed cardiovascular medications.
