Determinants affecting medication adherence in the elderly: A qualitative study.
Article in Aging medicine (Milton (N.S.W)), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveDue to high rates of irrational use of medicines and low rates of medication adherence among older Iranian patients, this study aimed to explore the determinants of medication adherence in the elderly.
methodsThis qualitative study was conducted in 2019 via 20 semi-structured interviews with a purposeful sample of elderly people and health-care personnel. Transcript data were analyzed applying thematic analysis. MAXQDA
resultsTwo main themes appeared as the main determinants of medication adherence: individual determinants and external determinants. Other results show that there were six sub-themes and 23 main categories in this regard. The sub-themes were as follows: consumption disorder, consumption acceptance, delinquency, forgetfulness, sociocultural factors, and others' impacts.
conclusionsDifferent individual and external factors can affect elderly people's medication adherence. Considering the significance of this issue for the health of elderly people and the whole community, positive changes are needed to manage the medication-adherence process. Basic and scientific planning, appropriate interventions, and comprehensive collaboration among all health-system levels are required for implementing such changes.
