Medication Adherence and its Predictors in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in India: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Current Evidence.
Review in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aims: India has nearly 90 million (10.5%) patients living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with a high burden of suboptimal medication adherence. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the determinants of medication adherence in Indian patients with T2DM, estimate the pooled prevalence of adherence, and formulate evidence-based recommendations for public health policy. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational and experimental studies from India, published between January 2020 and December 2024. Electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science) were searched for studies reporting the proportion of patients reporting poor adherence to anti-diabetic medications. Results: A total of 534 articles were identified after removing duplicates and assessed for eligibility, of which 16 studies were included in this SRMA. The pooled prevalence of medication non-adherence among MMAS-8 using studies ( Conclusion: Medication non-adherence in patients with T2DM persists as a major public health challenge in India, further exacerbating the country's burgeoning diabetes epidemic. Strengthening primary care can address the primary factors contributing to significant non-adherence in this population.
