Posttransplant Medical Adherence: What Have We Learned and Can We Do Better?
Article in Current transplantation reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
purpose of reviewNon-adherence to the medical regimen after kidney transplantation can contribute to poor clinical outcomes, and strategies to maximize adherence are sought by care providers and patients alike. We assessed recent evidence on prevalence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes associated with non-adherence to the medical regimen after kidney transplantation. We summarized recent clinical trials testing interventions to improve adherence and generated recommendations for future research and clinical practice. RECENT
findingsA large evidence base documents rates of non-adherence to each of the multiple components of the regimen, including medication-taking, lifestyle activities, clinical care requirements, and substance use restrictions. Some risk factors for non-adherence are well known but the full range of risk factors remains unclear. Non-adherence to immunosuppressants and to other components of the regimen increases morbidity and mortality risks. Recent interventions, including education and counseling; electronic health strategies; and medication dose modifications, show promise for reducing immunosuppressant non-adherence. However, most of these interventions would be difficult to deploy in everyday clinical practice. Systematic dissemination of efficacious interventions into clinical practice has not been undertaken. SUMMARY: Rates and risk factors for non-adherence to the medical regimen have been examined and there is evidence that non-adherence may be ameliorated by a range of interventions. Although gaps in the evidence base remain, it would be timely to devote greater efforts to dissemination of findings. Thus, efforts are needed to assist transplant programs in using existing evidence to better identify patients who are non-adherent and to design and implement strategies to reduce or prevent non-adherence.
