ReviewExpert review of respiratory medicine
Up-to-date guidance towards improving medication adherence in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Review in Expert review of respiratory medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionDespite efficacious treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), medication adherence remains quite poor, with most estimates based on electronic monitoring devices ranging from 20-30%. This degree of nonadherence represents a significant missed opportunity to realize the benefits of treatment of this disease. AREAS COVERED: In this article, we review research on the prevalence of nonadherence among patients with COPD, the association of nonadherence with health outcomes, barriers to adherence in this patient population, and potential interventions. EXPERT OPINION: Integrating research into practice involves assessing patients' adherence, identifying modifiable barriers to adherence, open discussion of these barriers with patients, and tailored interventions to address them. These interventions may include treatment of previously unrecognized comorbid disease, providing educational or behavioral interventions, optimizing prescribing strategies, use of adherence aids, or addressing cost and other access barriers. Electronic inhaler monitors are promising interventions for both monitoring and improving adherence. However, remaining concerns about integration into patient care, data management, cost, acceptability, and ethical and privacy issues must be overcome prior to their implementation in clinical practice.
