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

Purpose: The objective of this study was to identify dimensions and items for a future questionnaire aimed at measuring medication nonadherence in people with ischemic heart disease, considering gender differences and incorporating the views of healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients. Patients and Methods: We conducted a mixed-method cross-sectional study at San Juan de Alicante University Hospital and Miguel Hernández University (Spain). The methods used to identify dimensions included a consensus group of healthcare and scientific professionals, an open-response survey for community pharmacists, a closed-response patient survey, and patient focus groups. When drafting the item list, we followed international recommendations related to the number and wording of items. Our study also included a qualitative review of the item list and response scales by psychologists. Results: The resulting item list includes 41 potential items grouped into 26 dimensions and five domains: "patient", "treatment", "disease", "health professional-patient relationship" and "healthcare system". It covers aspects such as personal beliefs, mood, polypharmacy, disease symptoms, patient-healthcare professional interaction and healthcare system factors. Response options are presented on a 5-point Likert scale, including agreement-level responses and frequency-level responses. Conclusion: With the collaboration of patients, researchers, and healthcare providers, we potentially identified five domains, 26 dimensions, and 41 items with 5-point Likert scale response options. These will be considered in the subsequent development and validation of a questionnaire to measure medication adherence in patients with ischemic heart disease.
