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

backgroundAdherence to treatment is correlated with treatment success in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). CVS Specialty explored novel methods to improve adherence in this population to ensure optimal adherence and lower the risk of unsuccessful treatment. One novel program explored involved an interactive 2-way clinical messaging technology that coaches patients with adherence and knowledge about taking their treatment and managing their conditions. Clinical secure messaging is a 2-way messaging program distinct from the 1-way refill reminders and order status messages that patients were receiving if opted into the messaging program.

objectiveTo assess the effect on adherence of 2-way clinical messaging in a CML population treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) compared with patients enrolled in 1-way refill reminders.

methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted using prescription claims data. Patients new to TKI therapy and enrolled in at least 1-way messaging were identified and divided into control and study cohorts based on clinical messaging enrollment status. Participants were followed for 365 days after their first fill. Adherence outcomes were defined by medication possession ratio (MPR), length of therapy, first fill drop-off rate, and gap days between refills. Optimal adherence was defined as an MPR ≥ 85%.

resultsPatients receiving clinical messaging had on average a 7.64% higher MPR score (MPR: 73.94% vs. 66.30%) compared with the control arm (

conclusionsTwo-way clinical messaging positively affected adherence outcomes in a CML population. This effect was in addition to 1-way refill reminders and order status messages. The nature of the clinical content encourages further investigation into this novel execution of adherence coaching and counseling through a digital platform.
