Drug therapy and medication adherence in type 2 diabetes in a care facility: A cross sectional survey.
Article in Exploratory research in clinical and social pharmacy, 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: Adherence to medications improves glycaemic control and reduces diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. Objectives: The study assessed drug therapy for type 2 diabetes, glycaemic control and association of medication adherence with socio-demographic and clinical data, among adult diabetic patients attending a healthcare facility. Methods: Cross-sectional survey and hospital records were used to obtain data. The study included 200 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Nigerian healthcare facility. Data on patients clinical characteristics, diabetes drug therapy and medication adherence were collected, entered and anlaysed using SPSS version 24 Results: A total of 200 (100%) respondents participated in the study and the majority 141(70.5%) were over 60 years old. Oral medications were mostly used 187(93.5%), particularly, metformin 199(99.5%) and pioglitazone 100(50.0%), while dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors were not used at all. Patients mostly had poor glycaemic control 159 (79.5%) and majority 152(76.0%) did not practice self-blood glucose monitoring. Moderate medication adherence was predominant in the population. Class of medicine and socio-demographics were not significantly associated with medication adherence Conclusion: Oral antidiabetics, particularly metformin and pioglitazone were mostly used. Poor glycaemic control and moderate adherence were found in the patients, and medication adherence was associated with self-glucose monitoring. This emphasises the need for regular diabetes education on medication adherence.
