Treatment adherence: A Concept Analysis Using the Walker & Avant Method.
Review in Patient preference and adherence, 2024. 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
Purpose: To clarify the meaning of treatment adherence and identify its attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents. Design: A concept analysis. Methods: Walker and Avant's method was used to analyze treatment adherence. PubMed, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, and EBSCO databases were searched from 2013 to 2023. The PRISMA 2020 checklist was used. Results: Seventeen studies were included in this analysis. The defining attributes were the ability to comply with the treatment, consistency in the treatment plan, communication with the healthcare provider, and willingness to treat. Antecedents included multiple medicines, lifestyle changes, illness perceptions and beliefs, and long-term treatment. The outcomes included treatment success, improved long-term treatment, and improved clinical outcomes. Conclusion: Treatment adherence is a positive reaction of a patient to have the ability to comply with the treatment, consistency in the treatment plan, communication with the healthcare provider, and willingness to treat. This study proposes a detailed definition, attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents for treatment adherence. It is instructive to clinical nursing of treatment adherence, can be extended to various diseases, helps to improve clinical nursing practice regarding treatment adherence, and contribute to improving human health.
