Psychometric properties of Drug Attitude Inventory among patients with schizophrenia.
Review in The South African journal of psychiatry : SAJP : the journal of the Society of Psychiatrists of South Africa, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: The treatment of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia has remained three-fold physical (pharmacological), psychological and social. Furthermore, the need to monitor adherence to the physical aspect of treatment has been a major concern to mental health practitioners as this usually affects the success of psychological and social treatment. Aim: My study aimed to determine the psychometric properties of Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI) among patients with schizophrenia. The study was carried out at the Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro Abeokuta Ogun State and on an average, about 150 patients were seen daily at the outpatient clinic. Methods: Internal consistency, item-total correlation (the two-way mixed method with absolute agreement) and Cronbach's alpha were evaluated using an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). This instrument's level of adequacy was determined using factor analysis (principal component analysis with varimax rotation). Result: Marital status and level of education were significantly associated with adherence. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.56 and principal components factor analysis with varimax rotation produced a three-factor solution. Conclusion: My study has shown that the DAI is a valid and reliable instrument and can be used in a clinical setting where there are limitations with time such as the outpatient clinic.
