Correlation between comfort and medication adherence in people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 2026. 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
objectivesto test a hypothetical correlation between the comfort construct of Kolcaba's Comfort Theory and the adherence construct to the use of oral antidiabetic drugs and insulin in people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
methodsan analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with 198 participants. Comfort and medication adherence were measured, respectively, using the General Comfort Questionnaire, the Insulin Treatment Adherence Measure, and the Oral Antidiabetic Treatment Adherence Measure. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson's correlation test was used for correlation analysis.
resultsthe mean medication adherence score was 5.22, and the mean comfort score was 130.25 among those using exclusively oral antidiabetic drugs, while those using insulin had averages of 5.30 and 131.61, respectively. Correlations were -0.040 for oral antidiabetic drugs and -0.112 for insulin.
conclusionsno correlation was found between the variables general comfort and medication adherence.
