Improving adherence in chronic airways disease: are we doing it wrongly?
Review in Breathe (Sheffield, England), 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
Non-adherence to medicines is a significant clinical and financial burden, but successful strategies to improve it, and thus bring about significant improvements in clinical outcome, remain elusive. Many barriers exist, including a lack of awareness amongst some healthcare professionals as to the extent and impact of non-adherence and a dearth of skills to address it successfully. Patients may not appreciate that they are non-adherent, feel they cannot disclose it or underestimate its impact on their health in the short and longer term. In describing the evidence-based frameworks that identify the causal factors behind medicines taking (or not taking) behaviours, we can start to personalise interventions to enable individuals to make informed decisions about their treatments and thus overcome real and perceived barriers to adherence. EDUCATIONAL
aimsTo understand the underlying principles of why a patient may or may not take medicines as agreed.To choose targeted interventions to support better adherence.
