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

aimTo gain an understanding of potential aspects influencing treatment adherence for patients with acute coronary syndrome.

designA qualitative deductive approach.

methodsPatient and nurse participants were recruited from a single hospital in Australia, who participated in a semi-structured interview. Data were analysed using a deductive thematic analysis.

resultsFifteen patients with acute coronary syndrome and 13 registered nurses participated in the study. Potential aspects influencing treatment adherence included perceived risk, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and cues to action.

conclusionThis study provides insights into the limited evidence into understanding the aspects that influence treatment adherence for acute coronary syndrome from both the patient and the nurse perspective. This is important given the continuing low rate of treatment adherence among patients with acute coronary syndrome. Future studies are recommended to consider patients' perceived benefits, barriers, and cues to action that target increased treatment adherence for this population. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
