1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCost-related nonadherence (CRN) is prevalent among individuals with diabetes and can have significant negative health consequences. We examined health-related and non-health-related pressures and the use of cost-reducing strategies among the US adult population with and without diabetes that may impact CRN.

methodsData from the 2013 wave of National Health Interview Survey (n=34,557) were used to identify the independent impact of perceived financial stress, financial insecurity with health care, food insecurity, and cost-reducing strategies on CRN.

resultsOverall, 11% (n=4158) of adults reported diabetes; 14% with diabetes reported CRN, compared with 7% without diabetes. Greater perceived financial stress [prevalence ratio (PR)=1.07; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.05-1.09], financial insecurity with health care (PR=1.6; 95% CI, 1.5-1.67), and food insecurity (PR=1.30; 95% CI, 1.2-1.4) were all associated with a greater likelihood of CRN. Asking the doctor for a lower cost medication was associated with a lower likelihood of CRN (PR=0.2; 95% CI, 0.2-0.3), and 27% with CRN reported this. Other cost-reducing behavioral strategies (using alternative therapies, buying prescriptions overseas) were associated with a greater likelihood of CRN.

conclusionsHalf of the adults with diabetes perceived financial stress, and one fifth reported financial insecurity with health care and food insecurity. Talking to a health care provider about low-cost options may be protective against CRN in some situations. Improving screening and communication to identify CRN and increase transparency of low-cost options patients are pursuing may help safeguard from the health consequences of cutting back on treatment.
