Factors Influencing Medication Adherence in Elderly Patients with Hypertension: A Single Center Study in Western China.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Purpose: To develop and empirically test a conceptual model that explains the factors influencing antihypertensive medication adherence behavior in elderly patients in a city in western China. Patients and Methods: The conceptual model was based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Health Belief Model and was empirically tested using cross-sectional survey data from Nanchong City, a city in western China, collected between October and December 2020. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: Behavioral intentions were the main predictor of medication adherence behavior (path coefficient of 0.353). Perceived benefits and perceived barriers directly (path coefficient = 0.201 and -0.150, respectively), and indirectly (path coefficient = 0.118 and -0.060) through behavioral intentions, influenced medication adherence behavior. Perceived susceptibility (path coefficient = 0.390) and perceived severity (path coefficient = 0.408) influenced behavioral attitudes, which influenced behavioral intentions (path coefficient = 0.298). Conclusion: The conceptual model demonstrates a robust ability to predict and explain medication adherence behavior among elderly patients with hypertension, facilitating the adoption and maintenance of changes in adherence behavior and the potential for preventing disease progression and improving quality of life.
