Primary Care Records of Chronic-Disease Patient Adherence to Treatment.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The goal of managing adherence (AD) is to achieve better medication use by patients in order to maximize benefits and reduce risks. With the aim of improving treatment adherence by patients, we carried out a descriptive study to obtain information related to adherence management in primary care. Inclusion criteria were as follows: patients that had at least one record of any treatment adherence assessment variable. For those that had more than one recorded variable, we analyzed consistency across test results. For the comparative analysis of adherence records, patients were categorized into three groups on the basis of the healthcare unit that recorded the data: case management (CM), home care (HC), and primary care team (PCT). A total of 32,137 subjects met inclusion criteria; 79.56% of subjects were older than 65. As for the analysis of assessment records across care units, 69.73% of CM patients, 67.17% of HC patients, and 2.33% of PCT patients had adherence assessment records. CM units made a significantly greater number of records than HC units. We observed low adherence at a rate of 49.3% in the CM group, 31.91% in the HC group, and 17.58% in the PCT group. When more than one adherence variable was recorded, analysis revealed inconsistent test results or recorded variables in 9.06% of PCT cases, 14.83% of HC cases, and 20.47% of CM cases. The inconsistencies observed in records of adherence assessment and management across different care units reveal the huge variability that exists in managing and selecting a tool to assess adherence.
