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

This article reports a case study of an older adult kidney transplant recipient with poor medication adherence enrolled in an innovative six-month SystemCHANGE intervention that seeks to systematically improve medication adherence by identifying and shaping routines, involving others in routines, and using medication-taking feedback through small, patient-led experiments. Medication adherence increased immediately and was sustained throughout the intervention and maintenance phases. This is the first case study to demonstrate effectiveness of the SystemCHANGE intervention for promoting medication adherence in a kidney transplant recipient. The intervention improved the timing of doses by linking them to a regularly occurring behavior and providing feedback. The SystemCHANGE intervention represents a systems-thinking approach for both provider and patients, and gives healthcare providers the tools needed to assist patients in using habits and routines, and feedback to improve medication taking and timing.
