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

The objective was to analyse the association between the dimensions of religiosity and adherence to pharmacotherapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus among elderly people attending in primary health care centres in a Brazilian municipality. This is a cross-sectional study with 338 elderly people, in which medication adherence and religiosity were investigated using the Brief Medication Questionnaire and the Duke Religious Index, respectively. The sample consisted of 66.3% being females, 51.5% belonging to the age group of 60-69 years and 50.3% self-reported complications resulting from diabetes. Most participants used oral anti-diabetic drugs with 64.8% using metformin and 26.3% using insulin. Medication adherence was 52.4%. There was an association between adherence and the dimensions: organizational religiosity activity (p = 0.02), non-organizational religiosity activity (p < 0.01) and intrinsic religiosity (p < 0.01). The associations between the dimensions of religiosity and adherence highlight the importance of the approach in clinical-care practice for integrity care. Therefore, it is suggested that this be addressed when developing a treatment plan in primary care.
