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

Medication adherence is a critical issue in managing chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients for slowing CKD progression. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between individual medication adherence and secondary clinical outcomes (pill burden, medication knowledge, and CKD stages) over a 6-month period. This prospective observational study with repeated measures was performed among patients with CKD in a tertiary hospital in Malaysia. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted among CKD patients, with assessments at baseline, month 3, and month 6. Individual adherence, pill burden, medication knowledge, and CKD stages were assessed at each visit. Groups were compared using Mann-Whitney Findings: A total of 200 patients were included, with 140 completing the 6-month follow-up. Medication adherence remained stable over time, with 58.0% ( Conclusion: These findings highlight the clinical value of pharmacist-led, medication-level adherence assessment, enabling targeted interventions to optimize therapy, reduce complications, and improve patient outcomes.
