Factors predicting medication adherence among coronary artery disease patients in Saudi Arabia: A descriptive study.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo measure medication adherence among coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and identify sociodemographic factors that are medication adherence predictors.
methodsA cross-sectional correlation design was carried out, following the STROBE guidelines. The study was carried out in a specialized cardiac center in the western region of Saudi Arabia between March 2019 and January 2020. A total of 278 patients completed the study survey.
resultsThe majority of participants (59.4%) reported moderate medication adherence, and the remainder reported poor (30.6%) and good (10%) medication adherence. It was found that women patients, patients with higher education levels, non-smokers, patients who regularly followed-up with their cardiologist, and patients with family support showed significantly higher medication adherence. Four of the sociodemographic variables (gender, number of doctor visits, family support, and education level) predicted medication adherence.
conclusionApproximately 30% of the participants reported poor medication adherence. The number of cardiologist visits and the level of family support were 2 of the factors found to be associated with medication adherence.
