Psychosocial Determinants of Antidepressant Adherence Among Hungarian Adults: A Cross-Sectional Online Survey.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 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
Purpose: Depression is a significant public health concern in Hungary, contributing to disability, reduced productivity, and impaired quality of life. Patients and Methods: A nationwide online survey (14 May-11 June 2025) was followed by multiple linear regression analyses to explore links between patients' socio-demographic factors and their scores on the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire and Beck Anxiety Inventory. The main focus of the study was on participants' adherence to prescribed antidepressant treatment assessed using the Medication Adherence Report Scale. Adults over 18 taking GP-prescribed antidepressants were included. This was a cross-sectional observational study based on self-reported survey data. Results: The sample consisted of 213 participants. The participants who smoked were less adherent to their prescribed antidepressant regimen (coef=-1.445; p=0.038). In contrast, individuals reporting satisfaction with their general practitioner exhibited higher adherence levels (coef=1.609; p=0.033). Monthly collection of antidepressant prescriptions was associated with better adherence than less frequent collection intervals-specifically every two months (coef=5.106; p=0.001), every three months (coef=3.900; p=0.016), or less often (coef=3.887; p=0.013). General beliefs about medicine influence antidepressant adherence: perceiving them as harmful (coef=-2.404; p=0.001) or overused (coef=-1.197; p=0.002) reduces adherence, while viewing antidepressants as necessary enhances it (coef=1.531; p=0.001). Conclusion: Medication adherence is influenced by patients' beliefs, smoking status, anxiety levels, and satisfaction with care. Enhancing treatment continuity requires addressing these areas.
