Variables associated with adherence to the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus among elderly people.
Article in Diabetology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.

resultsAdherence to treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus among elderly people was found to be 52.4% (95%CI 47.9-57.7). There was evidence of positive associations between treatment adherence and age older than 80 years, one to four years of schooling, non-abusive alcoholic use, self-efficacy, clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus only, non-obesity, use of oral anti-diabetic drugs, non-occurrence of side effects, no daily use of multiple-dose medication, no delay in medication delivery and treatment at family healthcare units (
