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

objectiveIdentify psychosocial risk factors for non-adherence to medication following liver transplantation.

methodsWe used the Medication Level Variability Index (MLVI) for the assessment of adherence in 52 subjects selected for a pre-transplant liver procedure and monitored them for 6 months following transplantation. Patients were divided into exposed and non-exposed groups according to adherence, and each group was analyzed using psychosocial variables: demographic characteristics, quality of life, impulsivity, resilience, anxiety and depression.

resultsPatients with non-adherence had lower scores in the SF-36v2 domains and in the components of physical and mental health, with significant differences in the physical functioning (P=0.03) and physical health component (P=0.03) domains. In addition, non-adherent patients showed higher levels of impulsiveness (P=0.04) and 44.2% of the non-adherent patients being men (P=0.04).

conclusionPhysical functioning and summary of the physical components of quality of life, impulsivity and male gender were associated with low adherence to medication.
