Adherence Barriers to Treatment of Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background: Adherence to treatment is highly important in the management of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD). Barriers to effective and long-term adherence to treatment by the patient make achieving care and treatment goals challenging. The aim of this study was to identify the adherence barriers to the treatment plan in patients with CVD. Materials and Methods: A qualitative content analysis study was conducted to explore the experience of patients, family caregivers, and healthcare professionals ( Results: After data analysis, 3 themes and 6 categories were identified and named. Themes (and categories) include "Patients unreadiness to change" (misunderstanding of conditions and consequences and deterrence cultural practices and beliefs); "gap in healthcare services" (lack of adequate support for patients and discordance between healthcare professionals); and "limited access to healthcare services" (limited physical access and financial burden). Conclusions: The findings of the present study can provide a framework for healthcare professionals to employ preventive strategies, reduce disease complications, decrease unhealthy behaviours, and increase prolonged adherence to treatment recommendations in patients with CVD.
