Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Malay Version of the Malaysia Medication Adherence Assessment Tool (MyMAAT) Among Patients with Chronic Medications.

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: The bilingual Malaysia Medication Adherence Assessment Tool (MyMAAT) was developed using the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the current study intended to confirm the measurement model, dimensionality and ensure the factor structure by the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The objective of this study was to validate the Malay version of the MyMAAT in measuring medication adherence among participants with chronic medications. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-report questionnaire at five health clinics and a hospital in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya region between May to November 2023. The participants were selected using quota sampling and written informed consent was obtained from each participant prior to data collection. There are two constructs in the MyMAAT, namely the Specific Medication-Taking Behaviour (Factor 1) and the Social-Cognitive Theory of Self-Efficacy and Social Support (Factor 2). Results: Two hundred and thirty-five patients participated in the CFA study. The final model for the Malay version of the MyMAAT retained the two constructs and 12 items with good fit: CFI = 0.978, TLI = 0.973, RMSEA = 0.036 (90% CI 0.001,0.067) and with good composite reliability CR 0.790 for Factor 1 and 0.787 for Factor 2. The factor loadings ranged from 0.413 to 0.832 with Conclusion: It is concluded that the Malay version of the MyMAAT is valid and reliable in measuring medication adherence among patients with chronic medications.
