Comparison of anonymous versus nonanonymous responses to a medication adherence questionnaire in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeAdherence to medication can be assessed by various self-report questionnaires. One could hypothesize that survey respondents tend to answer questions in a manner that will be viewed favorably by others. We aimed to answer if anonymous and nonanonymous responses to a questionnaire on medication adherence differ. PATIENTS AND
methodsAdherence was assessed with the German Stendal Adherence with Medication Score (SAMS), which includes 18 questions with responses based on a 5-point Likert scale. Anonymous data from 40 subjects were collected during a symposium for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and nonanonymous data were obtained from 40 outpatient-clinic PD patients at the Department of Neurology.
resultsThe two groups (anonymous self-reported questionnaire and nonanonymous) did not differ in terms of demographical characteristics and the SAMS sum score. However, anonymously collected data showed significant higher scoring for the item 6 ("Do you forget your medications?") than the data collected nonanonymously (
conclusionOverall assessment of adherence does not depend on whether the patient remains anonymous or not. There seems to be no relevant social desirability bias in nonanonymous responses.
