Type 2 Diabetic Patients Adherence Towards Their Medications.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Given that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become a common noncommunicable disease that can begin in early life and has a significant effect on the quality of life, it is important to address treatment adherence. While various factors contribute to the development of T2DM, the primary cause is linked to unhealthy eating and lack of physical activity. Adhering to healthy eating and physical exercise is not generally well tolerated by patients with diabetes, and pharmacological treatments are often necessary. However, few studies exist that assess T2DM treatment adherence in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional analytic study at Al Iskan, Al Waha, and Bahrah Primary Health Care Centers, National Guard Health Affairs, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to assess the adherence among patients with T2DM via a self-completed questionnaire after participant verbal and written consent. A total of 387 patients with T2DM were surveyed: 269 were males (69.5%) and 118 were female patients (30.5%). According to our findings, 265 (68.5%) participants reported adherence toward their medications, and 122 (31.5%) were not adherent. The most common reason for nonadherence was forgetting to take their medication. Nonadherence is associated with poor outcomes and lower quality of life. Therefore, additional studies and awareness campaigns are needed to identify and address the various causes of nonadherence to prevent further complications and decrease the overall burden of the disease.
