Barriers affecting medication adherence to dienogest among patients with ovarian endometriosis: a qualitative study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To explore barriers affecting medication adherence (e.g., missed doses, forgotten doses, or discontinuation) among patients with Ovarian Endometriosis (OE) using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation - Behaviour (COM-B) behavioural change model as a theoretical framework and propose targeted improvement measures. Methods: A qualitative research approach was used. From March to May 2025, interviews were conducted with 15 patients diagnosed with Ovarian Endometriosis and taking dienogest for over six months at a Grade A tertiary hospital in Linfen City. Data were analysed using directed content analysis. Results: Three themes were identified: lack of capability, lack of opportunity, and insufficient patient motivation. Conclusion: This study employed semi-structured interviews combined with the COM-B behavioural change model to systematically analyse barriers affecting dienogest medication adherence among patients with Ovarian Endometriosis. It deeply explored their experiences and perceptions of medication use, providing a reference for developing subsequent intervention strategies to enhance patient medication adherence.
