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

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical education on medication adherence in patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Systemic Arterial Hypertension. Patients and Methods: This randomized clinical trial enrolled patients with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Systemic Arterial Hypertension treated in an internal medicine outpatient clinic of a teaching hospital. One hundred and three patients were randomly assigned to the study groups; 51 to the control group and 52 to the intervention group with a 6 months follow-up. Medication adherence was assessed using the Morisky 8-item medication adherence scale. To improve patient adherence to treatment, a wallet card was provided with an up-to-date list of prescribed medications along with recommendations for follow-up care. Results: One hundred and seventy-nine patients were screened for eligibility, of which 103 (57.5%) participated in the study. The intervention group showed a statistically significant decrease in capillary glucose levels, glycated hemoglobin, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and triglycerides compared to the control group. The frequencies on medication adherence levels at 3 and 6 months in the control group remained similar to baseline, while in the intervention group the frequency of high adherence increased significantly at 6 months (8.7% to 43.5%). Conclusion: A high percentage of patients are not achieving optimal control of their diabetes. Medication adherence rates were between 45-50% in patients at the baseline of the study, but after receiving education and support from a pharmacist, the intervened group showed a significant increase in their adherence.
