Understanding Treatment Adherence in Chronic Diseases: Challenges, Consequences, and Strategies for Improvement.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Adherence to medications is a significant challenge in chronic disease management. Poor adherence can lead to adverse patient outcomes including disease progression, increased morbidity, reduced quality of life, higher hospitalization rates, increased medical costs, and mortality. Medical adherence is a complex issue, influenced by multiple factors, including patient-related, medication-related, and healthcare system-related barriers. This review explores reasons for both intentional non-adherence, such as patients underestimating the consequences of the disease, inadequate education or poor healthcare provider-patient communication, and unintentional non-adherence, including forgetfulness, pathophysiological barriers, socioeconomic barriers (including lifestyle and patient factors), or healthcare resource limitations. Multifaceted, patient-tailored interventions that could improve adherence are discussed, including promoting health education, enhancing healthcare provider-patient engagement, and exploring alternative medical solutions and emerging technological advances. No single approach fits all; this review aims to deepen the understanding of intentional and unintentional non-adherence and to inform targeted interventions to empower patients, foster trust, and improve adherence for those with chronic conditions.
