Beliefs About Medicines and Adherence to Treatment in Turkish Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Article in The Turkish journal of gastroenterology : the official journal of Turkish Society of Gastroenterology, 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.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough studies are investigating the perception and beliefs about treatment and adherence to treatment in different societies related to inflammatory bowel disease, there are no studies on this subject in Turkish people with different sociocultural structures. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the beliefs about treatment and its effect on adherence to treatment in the Turkish population with inflammatory bowel disease.
methodsIn the study, the "Medication Adherence Report Scale" and "Beliefs about Medicines Scale" scales were used to evaluate the treatment compliance and perception and beliefs about treatment. Characteristics that could affect treatment compliance were evaluated by statistical analysis.
resultsA total of 253 patients, 167 with ulcerative colitis and 86 with Crohn's disease, were included in the study. The non-adherence rate to the treatment was found as 41.9% in ulcerative colitis and 24.4% in Crohn's disease (P = .006). Intentional (29.3% in ulcerative colitis and 16.3% in Crohn's disease [P = .031] and unintentional non-adherence to treatment (28.1% in ulcerative colitis, 16.3% in Crohn's disease [P = .037] were significantly higher in ulcerative colitis than in Crohn's disease. Female gender (odds ratio = 2.59, P = .005), low education level (odds ratio = 4.8, P = .015), distal involvement in ulcerative colitis (P = .014), and thoughts about the disease would last too soon in Crohn's disease (odds ratio = 4.17, P = .049) were risk factors for non-adherence to treatment.
conclusionThe negative perception of treatment in inflammatory bowel disease affects adherence to the treatment. Considering some social factors that affect adherence to the treatment and taking measures to enhance the adherence to treatment will increase the success of treatment.
