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

Pharmacological treatment is essential for achieving blood pressure control in patients with hypertension; however, medication adherence remains suboptimal. Understanding its determinants is essential, but the role of psychological factors in medication adherence among hypertensive patients is still unclear. This study aimed to identify and synthesize evidence on modifiable psychological determinants associated with medication adherence in hypertensive patients. A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycARTICLES, up to September 1, 2025. A random-effects model was used to estimate pooled effect sizes with 95% confidence intervals. A total of 5,455 records were initially retrieved, of which 112 studies met the inclusion criteria. Fifty-one studies were eligible for meta-analysis. The findings identified depressive symptoms (OR = 0.86, 95%CI 0.77 to 0.95, I
