Diabetes, Therapeutic Inertia, and Patients' Medication Experience.
Article in Diabetes spectrum : a publication of the American Diabetes Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Factors contributing to therapeutic inertia related to patients' medication experiences include concerns about side effects and out-of-pocket costs, stigmatization for having diabetes, confusion about frequent changes in evidence-based guidelines, low health literacy, and social determinants of health. A variety of solutions to this multifactorial problem may be necessary, including integrating pharmacists into interprofessional care teams, using medication refill synchronization programs, maximizing time with patients to discuss fears and concerns, being cognizant of language used to discuss diabetes-related topics, and avoiding stigmatizing patients. Managing diabetes successfully is a team effort, and the full commitment of all team members (including patients) is required to achieve desired outcomes through an individualized approach.
