Medication Nonadherence: The Role of Cost, Community, and Individual Factors.
Article in Health services research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
objectiveTo explain the association of out-of-pocket (OOP) cost, community-level factors, and individual characteristics on statin therapy nonadherence. DATA SOURCES: BlueCross BlueShield of Texas claims data for the period of 2008-2011. STUDY
designA retrospective cohort of 49,176 insured patients, aged 18-64 years, with at least one statin refill during 2008-2011 was analyzed. Using a weighted proportion of days covered ratio, differences between adherent and nonadherent groups are assessed using chi-squared tests, t-tests, and a clustered generalized linear model with logit link function. PRINCIPAL
findingsStatin therapy adherence, measured at 48 percent, is associated with neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors, including race/ethnicity, educational attainment, and poverty level. Individual characteristics influencing adherence include OOP medication cost, gender, age, comorbid conditions, and total health care utilization.
conclusionsThis study signifies the importance of OOP costs as a determinant of adherence to medications, but more interestingly, the results suggest that other socioeconomic factors, as measured by neighborhood-level variables, have a greater association on the likelihood of adherence. The results may be of interest to policy makers, benefit designers, self-insured employers, and provider organizations.
