Adverse Drug Reactions and Predictors of Medication Adherence in Patients with Prostate Cancer.

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: Adherence to therapy with prostate cancer medicines is critical for delaying the progression of disease and enhancing health outcomes. Objectives: To determine patients' medication adherence, the predictors of adherence, and the frequency and types of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in persons with prostate cancer. Methods: A serial entry-point cross-sectional study of patients with prostate cancer was conducted in 3 cancer hospitals in Nigeria over a 12-month period (January 7, 2022, to January 3, 2023). Data on medication adherence were self-reported by patients, and data on ADRs were obtained from hospital records. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed, and Results: Of the 133 study participants, most 112 (84.2%) reported high medication adherence. The cost of drugs was the most frequently reported potential barrier to adherence ( Conclusions: In this study, medication adherence was high, with cost being a potential barrier to adherence. Family history of cancer and HRQOL significantly predicted medication adherence. The medications were well tolerated, and observed ADRs had minor severity. Policies targeting the reduction of cost-related factors for prostate cancer medications are essential.
