Factors Related to Beliefs about Medication in Ischemic Stroke Patients.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. 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
Background: Medication beliefs are known as predictors of medication adherence. However, understanding of the relevance of these beliefs is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to identify medication beliefs, and their influencing factors, in stroke survivors. Methods: This was a secondary analysis, using baseline data from a longitudinal study conducted to predict long-term medication adherence in Korean stroke survivors, and included 471 patients. Medication beliefs were investigated using the Belief about Medicine Questionnaire (BMQ), and the belief score and attitudes were derived from the “necessity” and “concern” scores, which are subscales of the BMQ. Multiple linear regression was used to determine independent factors influencing medication beliefs. Results: The mean score of medication beliefs is 7.07 ± 6.32, and the accepting group comprises 288 patients (61.1%). Medication beliefs are significantly higher in older adults (p < 0.001), females (p = 0.001), and patients with non-type D personality (p = 0.023), low-state anxiety (p < 0.001), high stroke severity (p = 0.001), a high number of medications (p < 0.001), and high knowledge about medications (p = 0.001). Conclusion: This study shows that type D personality, state anxiety, and knowledge about medication are major mediating factors for improving medication beliefs. These results may help healthcare professionals develop strategies to enhance medication adherence, by improving patients’ medication beliefs.
