The Relationship Between Medication Attitudes and Medication Adherence Behavior in Adults With Bipolar Disorder.
Article in The Journal of nervous and mental disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The relationship between medication attitudes and adherence as well as reliable measures of medication attitudes need further study. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Attitudes Toward Mood Stabilizers Questionnaire (AMSQ) in bipolar participants and the relationship between medication attitudes and adherence, measured by the self-reported Tablets Routine Questionnaire (TRQ). Inclusion criteria included mood stabilizer treatment and 20% or more medication nonadherence. Measures were given pretreatment and posttreatment. Average age was 47 years; majority were female (69%), African American (67%), and unmarried (53%). AMSQ's test-retest reliability was ρ = 0.73 (p < 0.001). AMSQ correlated with TRQ (rs = 0.20, p < 0.01) at baseline. Factor analysis identified three factors: positive/favorable attitudes, negative/critical attitudes, and unintentional nonadherence. Change in AMSQ across time correlated with change in TRQ. The AMSQ is valid psychometrically and is sensitive to change. Medication attitudes are related to adherence behavior. Interventions should include targeting specific domains of medication attitudes, such as illness knowledge.
