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

Numerous studies have examined socio-demographic, psychosocial, and other factors as potential contributors to poor adherence. Variability exists in the strength and consistency of findings. We speculated that the method of measuring adherence might be a factor in the variability in identification of predictor variables. We examined the identification of predictors of adherence by method of measurement in two randomized, controlled trials of adherence interventions. Both studies used the Aardex Medication Event Monitor and the Morisky Self-Report Scale. Twenty-one days of baseline data from 698 subjects were examined in relation to measures of depression, functional status, perceived therapeutic efficacy, number of co-morbidities, and socio-demographic indices. Analysis included Spearman rho, Pearson r, and multiple logistic regression. Differences in the identification of predictors between adherence measurement methods were identified. These data support the hypothesis that different measurement methods yield different predictors of adherence.
