Review in Current cardiology reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review was to synthesize research findings from recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) targeting any phase of medication adherence, from initiation to discontinuation, among patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). RECENT

findingsWe identified successful strategies and promising practices for improving medication adherence among patients diagnosed with CHD. Consistent intervention strategies included the following: (1) facilitating patient-provider communication, (2) using mHealth technologies with emphasis on two-way communication, (3) providing patient education in tandem with lifestyle and behavioral counseling, and (4) providing psychosocial support. Regarding medication adherence phases, all studies examined implementation (i.e., taking medications as prescribed over time) and one also addressed treatment initiation (i.e., beginning a new medication). None identified addressed discontinuation. Studies varied by use of objective, self-report, and a combination of outcome measures with a greater number reporting only subjective measures of adherence. Key findings remained mixed in supporting specific intervention designs or delivery formats. This review addresses available data of promising practices for improving CHD medication adherence. Future studies are needed to examine intervention effectiveness, scalability, and durability of observed outcome effects.
