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
Objective: The objective of this research is to identify sociodemographic factors associated with adherence to antihypertensive medications among hypertensive patients in a public hospital in northern Peru. The factors studied are age, sex, level of education, family functioning, living arrangement, time of disease since diagnosis, stage of hypertension, number of prescribed medications, and comorbidities. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional convenience sample study of 180 patients. Blood pressure was measured to determine the hypertensive state. The degree of adherence to medications and sociodemographic factors were determined by survey. Results: Independent Chi-square tests and multivariate analysis revealed that older age, longer disease duration, and good family functioning were associated with improved adherence, while the other factors did not reach statistical significance for being associated with adherence. The highest prevalence odds ratio (4.39) was associated with family functioning. Conclusion: Factors associated with adherence to antihypertensive medications were age, time of disease since diagnosis, and family functioning in the population studied. These results suggest that an integral approach is required: one that includes psychological help for families and patients who struggle with adherence.
