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: Theoretical exploration of the behavioral factors associated with adherence to medication in hypertensive patients has been limited in previous studies. Objectives: This study aims to understand the associations between demographic and health characteristics and behavioral factors for medication taking, and how these predict medication adherence. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in hypertensive outpatients, with a sample size of 399 participants. Behavioral factors predicting medication taking, designed to align with the theoretical domains framework, and the medication adherence scale were used. Behavioral factors were determined using principal component analysis, and their associations with demographic and health characteristics and medication adherence were analyzed using non-parametric statistics. Results: Four behavioral factors were identified: (F1) negative emotions and beliefs about capabilities, (F2) beliefs about consequences, (F3) knowledge and skills, and (F4) social support. F1 showed a strongest inverse association with medication adherence (ρ = -0.25; Conclusions: Certain demographic and health characteristics were significantly associated with emotions and beliefs about capabilities to take medication, which, in turn, was significantly associated with medication adherence. Future research should design interventions that focus on reassuring patients of the need and of their ability to overcome their worries and sadness and reduce their difficulties in using medications.
