1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study aimed to identify factors associated with high adherence to eye drop therapy for dogs. ANIMALS STUDIED: The study included 113 dogs and their owners who visited a veterinary ophthalmology clinic. PROCEDURES: Participants were classified into high and low adherence groups based on whether they gave the eye drops the prescribed number of times or less, respectively, until their second visit. Information about 15 candidate factors was obtained from the owners and medical records. Simple logistic regression was used for initial screening, followed by multiple logistic regression.

resultsOf the valid participants, 71 were in the high adherence group, and 31 were in the low adherence group. This classification was used as the outcome variable. Participants' previous experience giving eye drops, prescribed number of eye drops, and days between first and second clinic visits were selected as the explanatory variables to include in the multiple logistic regression analysis. The analysis showed that revisiting the clinic within 2 weeks of the first clinic visit (odds ratio = 5.2, 95% confidence interval: 1.7-15) and previous experience giving eye drops (odds ratio = 3.1, 95% confidence interval: 1.2-8.2) were associated with high adherence.

conclusionThe present study recommends that veterinarians set a shorter interval until the next visit and provide opportunities for practice to owners who have never given eye drops to their dogs.
