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
Prescription drug misuse disproportionately impacts American Indian communities, yet limited research explores how trust in healthcare settings affects behaviors related to prescription drug use. Using data from a 2017 cross-sectional survey of 781 American Indian adults in the Plains region, this study aims to examine the association between trust in health information provided by physicians and the misuse of prescribed medication, while identifying demographic and structural factors that influence trust levels. To assess trust, the study utilized a tool consisting of questions adapted from the Health Information National Trends (HINTS) survey, which asked respondents to rate how much they trust health and medical information from their doctors. Results showed that 29.3% of participants reported high trust in provider information. Trust was significantly higher among women, individuals with private insurance, and those with a personal healthcare provider. Notably, participants who misused prescription drugs reported significantly lower trust (30.0%) than those who did not (40.0%). The study concludes that while historical trauma influences mistrust, structural factors like continuity of care and regular provider access are vital. Improving patient-provider relationships may reduce medication misuse and associated risks like antibiotic resistance.
