Medication adherence in women with IBD of childbearing age likely associated with disease knowledge.
Article in Therapeutic advances in gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 adherence in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is crucial, particularly during pregnancy. Unplanned pregnancies are common; therefore, efforts to maximise adherence should not be restricted to pregnant women. Objectives: We aimed to assess medication adherence in women with IBD of childbearing age, regardless of their reproduction plans. Design: We performed a multi-centre pilot questionnaire study of women with IBD age 18-45 years. Methods: Survey questions included patient demographics, disease history, and validated assessments of IBD and pregnancy knowledge, medication adherence and quality of life. The primary outcome was rates and predictors of medication adherence. Results: In all, 72 women [58.3% Crohn's disease (CD) and 37.5% ulcerative colitis] completed the survey. The median patient age was 30 years [interquartile range (IQR): 24.8-36.0) and 37.5% had children. Medication adherence was high (84%; median Medication Adherence Report Scale: 19.0/20; IQR: 17.0-20.0). Knowledge scores were adequate for both the Crohn's and Colitis Knowledge (CCKnow; median: 15.5/30; IQR: 12.3-18.0) and Crohn's and Colitis Pregnancy Knowledge (CCPKnow; median: 8.0/17; IQR: 4.0-11.0). Disease knowledge was predictive of high medication adherence (CCPKnow: Conclusions: Following dedicated education at the IBD clinic, medication adherence, disease-specific and pregnancy-specific knowledge in women with IBD of childbearing age tends to be high. Unplanned pregnancies are frequent; therefore, we should aim to maximise medication adherence in all women of childbearing age to optimise maternofoetal outcomes if unexpected pregnancies occur.
