1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS) is a self-rated questionnaire that assesses medication compliance.

aimThis study aimed to validate the Malaysian language translation of the MARS (MARS-M).

methodThe original scale was translated to Malay via forward and backward translation process. The psychometric properties of the MARS-M were validated on clinical samples (N = 54).

resultsThe MARS-M was filled by 54 participants. Exploratory factor analysis supported a two-factor model. Factor 1 of the MARS-M consisted of four items (α = 0.84), while factor 2 consisted of three items (α = 0.78).Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was 0.60, and Bartlett's test of sphericity was significant (X

conclusionThe MARS-M is reliable and valid.
