A Longitudinal Study of Adherence among Cystic Fibrosis Patients: Associations with Gratitude Over the Course of One Year.

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
backgroundDaily airway clearance therapy (ACT) is a critical aspect of treatment in cystic fibrosis (CF), but poor adherence is a prominent concern. Identifying factors that might enhance or diminish adherence is a priority for treatment centers. Gratitude, a generalized tendency to notice and appreciate positive facets of experience, is a psychosocial resource that has commanded growing research interest. This longitudinal study examined whether gratitude at baseline was associated with ongoing or persistent ACT adherence over the course of a year.
methodsTrait gratitude was evaluated at baseline using a validated measure, among adults receiving care at a regional CF treatment center. Self-reported adherence to ACT was assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months using the Cystic Fibrosis Treatment Questionnaire. Average age of participants was 27.2 years, 45.5% were women, and 19.7% had severe disease.

conclusionThis is among the first demonstrations that gratitude is associated with persistent self-reported adherence to treatment over time. Findings suggest that gratitude may be important psychosocial resource for adults with CF, as they contend with complex, highly burdensome treatment regimens. Further research is warranted to examine these relationships and their impact on downstream health outcomes.
