Heterogeneity in longitudinal medication adherence patterns among patients with spinal tuberculosis: a latent class analysis using multi-timepoint follow-up data and associations with clinical outcomes.

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
Objective: This study aims to explore the dynamic trajectory of medication adherence behavior and its influencing factors among patients with spinal tuberculosis within 6 months after discharge, providing a basis for developing individualized intervention strategies. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from a longitudinal follow-up cohort, enrolling 117 spinal tuberculosis patients who underwent surgical treatment at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University between January 2024 and August 2025. Data were collected via telephone follow-up at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after discharge, including general demographic information, scores from the Morisky Medication Adherence Questionnaire, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and laboratory indicators such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein levels. Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was employed to identify subgroups of medication adherence trajectories, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the influencing factors of these trajectory patterns. Results: Among 117 patients, group-based trajectory modeling identified three medication adherence trajectories: "persistently high adherence" (35.0%, Conclusions: Medication adherence behavior among spinal tuberculosis patients exhibits heterogeneous dynamic trajectories. Clinically, tailored interventions should be developed according to the characteristics and influencing factors of different trajectory subgroups, with particular attention to older patients, those with lower educational levels, those experiencing adverse drug reactions, and those lacking supervision, in order to improve medication adherence.
