[Evaluation of primary adherence to medications in patients with chronic conditions: A retrospective cohort study].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesTo assess the proportion of members of a private health insurance at the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires with primary adherence to, 1) bisphosphonates for secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures, 2) insulin and metformin in type 2 diabetes, and 3) tamoxifen in the context of treatment of breast cancer.
designRetrospective cohort study to determine the proportion of primary treatment adherence during 2012 and 2013. SITE: Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
participantsMembers of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires private health insurance, who had received a new electronic prescription (alendronate or ibandronate for secondary prevention of fractures following an osteoporotic fracture; insulin and/or metformin for type 2 diabetes; or tamoxifen as a treatment for breast cancer) during the years 2012 and 2013. An analysis was performed on 1,403 new electronic prescriptions, of which 673 were excluded for not meeting the inclusion criteria. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Primary adherence has been defined as the execution of a first-time treatment after it was agreed with the health care provider. The primary analysis assessed the proportion of primary adherence for the three medications. A bivariate analysis was performed to compare the characteristics and potential predictors of primary adherence.
resultsPrimary adherence for each drug group was, 93% Bisphosphonates, 88% Metformin, 96% Insulin, and 92% Tamoxifen.
conclusionsTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that has evaluated primary adherence in Argentina, and the first for Tamoxifen world wide. The primary adherence documented in our study was somewhat higher than that reported in the literature.
