Determinants of Therapeutic Compliance in an Ambulatory Palliative Care Setting: An Observational Study.
Article in Indian journal of palliative care. 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
Objectives: Non-adherence to pharmacotherapy in an ambulatory palliative care setting can negatively affect therapeutic outcomes. Only a limited number of studies have explored the determinants of therapeutic compliance in the Indian palliative care context. This study aims to evaluate therapeutic compliance, assess attitudes toward medication adherence, and the factors influencing it among patients accessing an ambulatory palliative care service in a tertiary care hospital in India. Materials and Methods: One hundred and five adult patients accessing the ambulatory palliative care service and prescribed palliative pharmacotherapy for at least 1 month participated in this observational study. Data were collected using a study questionnaire that included socio-demographic details, the Morisky-Green test and a validated 17-item Likert scale assessing attitudes towards medication adherence. Statistical analysis comprised descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, Fisher's exact test and logistic regression. Results: Adherence to palliative pharmacotherapy was significantly associated with age, with older individuals (>60 years) showing greater compliance with medications compared to the young ( Conclusion: In the context of Indian palliative care, older age, female gender and lower literacy levels were associated with increased adherence to palliative pharmacotherapy; these demographic associations with compliance with palliative pharmacotherapy warrant further exploration.
