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
Aim: Medication adherence is critical in 5-aminosalicylate therapy for patients with ulcerative colitis. Patients with a history of previous medication self-discontinuation may continue to have low adherence due to the influence of inappropriate disease awareness. This study aimed to determine the association between the history of previous medication self-discontinuation and current adherence to 5-aminosalicylates in patients with ulcerative colitis. Methods and Results: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Japan from 2021 to 2024. A self-administered questionnaire was used in 228 patients with ulcerative colitis who were taking 5-aminosalicylates. We defined adherence as consumption of ≥ 80% of the prescribed dose. Patients with a history of previous medication self-discontinuation were defined as having discontinued medication at least once in the past by their own judgment. The current adherence rate to 5-aminosalicylates in this study was 92.9% (212/228). The proportion of patients with a history of previous medication self-discontinuation was 7.8% (18/228). History of previous medication self-discontinuation ( Conclusion: History of previous medication self-discontinuation was inversely associated with current adherence to 5-aminosalicylates among patients with ulcerative colitis. The results of this study suggest that determining the history of previous medication self-discontinuation may be a valuable tool in assessing current adherence to 5-aminosalicylates, which can be cumbersome.
