Medication Adherence Rates in Adolescents With Eosinophilic Esophagitis Are Low and Are Associated With Health Habits.
Article in Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Although swallowed topical steroids are effective in inducing histological remission in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), their efficacy is limited by treatment nonadherence. In this study, we objectively measured adherence rates to swallowed topical steroids in adolescents with EoE over the course of 8 weeks and analyzed the association between adherence rate, disease and demographic features, symptom severity, and medication-taking habit strength. We found that approximately 20% of adolescents with EoE were over-dosing on their medications. After excluding these patients, mean adherence rate was 67.0% (±19.4%) and median adherence rate was 63% (interquartile range 53%-88%). Adherence was not associated with demographic features, disease history, symptom severity, or quality of life but was associated with habit strength (Pearson r = 0.48, P = 0.04). These findings suggest that habit strength may serve as a potential target for interventions aimed at improving adherence in adolescents with EoE.
