1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: Adherence to antiviral treatment is important for treatment success and prevention of resistance. It was aimed to determine treatment adherence to nucleoside/nucleotide analogs and factors influencing on adherence. Methods: The study included 168 patients who received oral nucleoside/nucleotide analog with diagnosis of chronic hepatitis for at least 1 year. Data regarding demographic characteristics and missed drug were collected using a survey, while list of medication within prior year were extracted from pharmacy registry and Medication Possession Rate (MPR) was calculated. Results: There were 60 women (35.7%) and 108 men (64.3%) in the study. Mean age was calculated as 43.61±10.35 years. It was found that 29.2% of patients were non-adherent based on MPR (MPR<0.90). It was observed that adherence was improved on middle age. Treatment adherence was found to be higher in patients receiving medication due to disorders other than hepatitis B. It was found that there was no significant difference in adherence according to age, gender, occupation status, marital status, smoking or alcohol consumption habits, type of antiviral treatment, time and mode of drug intake, and biopsy finding at time of drug prescription. The most common cause was identified as forgetfulness for missed drug. Other common causes were inoccupation and alteration in daily routine. Conclusion: In our study, the treatment adherence determined by MPR was 70.8%. This rate was lower than those reported for chronic hepatitis B in the literature. It is important to monitor and encourage treatment adherence in patients with chronic hepatitis B by clinicians.
