Medication Adherence and Perceptions According to the Presence or Absence of a Migration Background in a Dialysis Unit (DIANA Qualitative Study).

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: Migration status has received little attention in the context of medication adherence. This qualitative study aims to consolidate the findings of the quantitative DIANA study by: 1) exploring medication management, medication knowledge and perceptions and 2) identifying whether there are differences in medication management, knowledge and perceptions between patients according to the patients' migration status. Patients and Methods: This monocentric qualitative study was part of the research protocol DIANA ( Results: Eighteen interviews were performed. Nine patients were Swiss, 3 had a residence/settlement permit, 6 were provisionally admitted/asylum seekers. Six interviews were performed with an interpreter. Core themes were: (1) treatment management (medication intake had become a habit, forgetting was rare), (2) heterogeneous treatment knowledge but highly perceived necessity, (3) reported medication disadvantages were pill burden and side effects, (4) role of the patient in the medical environment (trust in physicians but patients making decisions regarding their treatment on their own, without consulting healthcare professionals). Swiss patients engaged more in shared decision-making and were more likely to talk about side effects than migrant patients. Provisionally admitted foreign nationals/asylum seekers talked more about their gratitude to the healthcare system. Conclusion: More studies are needed to understand how shared decision-making can be established between health professionals and patients, taking into account their migration status. To provide tailored education, it is essential to evaluate patients' health literacy and to use the teach-back method to find the best way to convey health messages. The acquisition of transcultural clinical skills by health professionals is necessary to support medication adherence.
