Adherence to medical recommendations in high-risk pregnancy: dispositional and situational predictors with a focus on emotional reactivity.
Article in CNS spectrums, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTherapeutic adherence during pregnancy is critical for maternal and fetal health. This study examines personality traits, sensitivity to stimuli and socio-demographic factors influencing adherence among Italian women with high-risk pregnancies.
methodsNinety women from "Villa Sofia-V. Cervello Hospital", in Palermo, Italy, participated. Personality traits were assessed via the Personality Inventory (PI), covering Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Mental Openness, and Friendliness. Sensitivity to stimuli was evaluated using the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) Scale, which includes Low Sensory Threshold (LST), Ease of Excitement (EOE), and Aesthetic Sensitivity (AES). Treatment adherence was measured using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS).
resultsConscientiousness was identified as a positive predictor of medication adherence (OR = 1.08, p = .010), while Mental Openness (OR = 0.81, p = .003) and EOE (OR = 0.92, p = .014) were negative predictors. Higher education levels were associated with better adherence (OR = 2.34, p = .006). Significant occupational differences emerged, with office clerks exhibiting higher adherence compared to housekeepers (OR = 3.18, p = .008). Planned (OR = 0.38, p = .025) and unplanned but wanted pregnancies (OR = 0.42, p = .045) showed lower adherence. Regression analysis indicated that Neuroticism (β = -0.21, p = .032) and EOE (β = -0.28, p = .008) negatively impacted adherence.
conclusionSpecific personality traits, sensitivity, education, occupation, and pregnancy significantly influence adherence. Tailored interventions that enhance conscientiousness, address mental openness and sensitivity, and consider individual socio-demographic context are needed to promote better adherence and improve maternal and fetal health outcomes in high-risk pregnancies.
