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
Introduction Medication compliance (MC) is essential for optimum control and delaying disease progression and complications in chronic illnesses. Patients with hypertension have been repeatedly studied for their pattern of MC in the literature. However, whether or not lack of MC is an issue grave enough to cause medical complications of hypertension is still not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate if the lack of MC is related to hypertension-related stroke. Methods In this case-control, observational study, 100 hypertensive patients admitted with hypertensive stroke were included. These cases were compared with 200 hypertensive patients without any major hypertensive complication recruited from outpatient clinics. Medication compliance was calculated using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS). Data was entered and analysed using SPSS v. 22.0. Results High compliance patients were more in the control group than the cases (34.5% vs. 27%), similar was with medium (41.5% vs. 30%). and low compliance patients (43% vs. 24%;
