Assessment of medication adherence among type-2 diabetes mellitus in a tertiary care hospital of North India.
Observational study in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Study was conducted utilizing a confirmed medication adherence scale to measure the socio-demographic profile, self-care, and medication adherence among Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. The Fisher exact test was used to calculate the level of significance (P) using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Version 21.0. The research presented in this paper uses statistical evidence to assess the numerous aspects that may be linked to medication adherence. A prospective observational study was undertaken on participants visiting the outpatient department for 6 months at a North Indian tertiary care hospital to investigate the pattern and quality of life associated with T2DM. The study examined those who had T2DM for more than 2 years. At the time of the visit, subjects were interviewed using socio demographic information and a structured verified questionnaire. Fisher exact test was used to identify the parameters that were linked to medication adherence, with P0.05 being regarded statistically significant. A total of 350 T2DM outpatients were followed up on, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:0.95. A 13-item medication adherence scale was created and tested, revealing that approximately 32% of participants demonstrated high adherence to anti-diabetic drugs (score = 13). The P value was obtained using Fisher exact test for educational status, occupation, marital status, and the quantity and kind of anti-diabetic drugs was found to be 0.05. Only 32% of the respondents took their diabetes medication as prescribed, indicating the need to improve adherence among T2DM patients. The quantity and kind of anti-diabetic drugs, as well as the patients' educational status, occupation, and marital status, all demonstrated a statistically significant relationship with medication adherence.
