Correlates of Negative Attitudes towards Medication in People with Schizophrenia.
Article in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Attitudes towards psychiatric medication are an important factor influencing the success of treatment. Mental health care in the region of Central and Eastern Europe remains biologically oriented, yet the attitudes of people with severe mental illnesses are largely unknown. In the present study, we aimed to analyze factors of attitudes toward psychopharmacological drugs among people with schizophrenia spectrum disorder who use community social services in the Czech Republic. Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI) was used as a primary research instrument and data were analyzed using a multivariable linear regression. The majority of respondents (78%) had positive attitudes towards psychopharmacological treatment. Additionally, attitudes towards psychopharmaceutic drugs did not differ with regard to sociodemographic characteristics except for family status. There was a significant negative correlation with the level of self-stigmatization and a significant positive correlation with the duration of treatment. Respondents who had repeated experiences with discontinuation of medication without a prior consultation with a psychiatrist had significantly worse attitudes towards medication than respondents without this experience. This study revealed evidence of a strong relationship between the attitudes toward medication and a history of discontinuation of taking medication and duration of treatment. Therefore, we suggest that interventions focused preventing the internalization of stigmatizing attitudes towards mental illness should be available to people with schizophrenia spectrum disorder, especially in the early stages of the illness - irrespective of the patient's age.
