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: In recent years, around 30% of all mortalities worldwide has been related to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The most important predictor solution of cardiovascular events is enhancing medication adherence. Meanwhile, the main reason behind development of physical disorders among the elderly is depression. In this regard, the present research was performed to determine the relationship between depression and medication adherence among the elderly suffering from CVD. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done via an analytical approach on 188 elderlies fulfilling the inclusion criteria. The participants were chosen through convenience nonrandomized sampling from March to July 2022. The data were collected through demographic and healthcare information form plus Madanloo chronic disease medication adherence and geriatric depression scale. The analysis of the data was done by SPSS 26 plus Stata 14.2. Results: The mean depression score was 5.6(4.3) and the mean score of medication adherence in the elderlies was 168.03(23.85). The prevalence of depression was higher in women than in men ( Discussion and Conclusion: A weak to moderate relationship existed between depression and medication adherence among these elderlies. Given the growing elderly population, the importance of depression, and lack of medication adherence in incidence of CVD events, it is recommended to train the healthcare team to monitor the elderly regarding depression symptoms.
