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
Purpose: To investigate the medication adherence among caregivers of preschool children with pediatric glaucoma and to elucidate common barriers leading to poor adherence. Methods: A cross-sectional study. Caregivers of preschool children with pediatric glaucoma completed a questionnaire on demographic information of caregivers, demographic and disease characteristics of children, caregivers-reported medication adherence (by an adapted Morisky Adherence Scale), and possible 13 barriers. Results: Overall 132 questionnaires were considered valid. Thirty-six percent of all reported poor medication adherence. Caregivers' age and self-evaluated knowledge about pediatric glaucoma showed a significant difference between the adherent and nonadherent groups ( Conclusions: Over one-third of caregivers of preschool children with pediatric glaucoma were in poor medication adherence. Nearly two-thirds of caregivers cited multiple barriers simultaneously as important hindrances to medication usage. Anxiety and depression, difficulty with the acquisition of medications, difficulty with the medication schedule, and high expenses for medications were prominent barriers. Individualized solutions should be provided according to reported barriers by each caregiver and the other most common barriers.
