The Impact of Payment Scheme Changes on Medication Adherence and Persistence of Patients Diagnosed with Depression in Korea.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
As of 1 July 2018, the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) changed the fee schedule for individual psychotherapy (IP). We sought to analyze the impact of the IP payment scheme changes on the medication adherence and persistence of patients diagnosed with depression in Korea. We utilized the NHIS claims database from 2017 to 2019. Patients who were newly diagnosed with depression and utilized IP and were prescribed antidepressants during the study period were included. Adherence was measured using the medication possession ratio (MPR), and persistence was measured using the length of therapy (LOT) during the follow-up period. Adherence and persistence during the pre-policy period (before the change of the payment scheme, from January 2018 until June 2018) and the post-policy period (after the change, from July 2018 until December 2019) were compared. During the study period, a total of 176,740 patients with depression were identified. The average MPR significantly increased from 0.20 to 0.33 in the pre- and post-policy periods, respectively (
