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
Background: Multiple medications are required to effectively manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associated complications, posing the risk of poor medication adherence. Objectives: To measure medication adherence levels and to investigate the potential predictors of sub-optimal medication adherence in pre-dialysis patients with CKD. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the medical and nephrology outpatients' clinics in Maiduguri. Non-dialysis patients with CKD stages 1-4 aged 18 years and above were recruited through their physicians. The level of medication adherence was determined using Morisky Medication Adherence Scale. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patients' background characteristics. Multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the significantly potential predictors of sub-optimal medication adherence at a Results: There were 107 participants (48.6%) who had high medication adherence, while 97 (44.1%), and 16 (7.3%) of them had moderate adherence, and low adherence, respectively. The univariate analysis revealed that medication adherence level differed significantly with the number of medications taken daily by patients ( Conclusion: A majority of the participants reported sub-optimal medication adherence. The independent variables considered did not significantly predict sub-optimal medication adherence in the study population. Nevertheless, the study findings highlight the importance of clinical pharmacists' CKD management supportive care to help improve medication adherence.
