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
objectivesTo investigate the current medi-cation adherence status and analyze its influencing factors in patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) and thus provide a reference for developing interventions to improve medication adherence in this population.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among patients with OLP who attended the Department of Oral Medicine, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, between February 2023 and September 2024. Data were collected by using a general information questionnaire, a patient medication questionnaire, and the Morisky medication adherence scale (MMAS-8). Univariate analysis was first performed, and variables with
resultsA total of 388 patients with OLP were included. The mean MMAS-8 score was 5.37, with a median of 5.75 (Q₁, Q₃: 4.00, 7.00). Medication adherence was categorized as low (MMAS-8<6) in 202 patients (52.1%), medium (6≤MMAS-8<8) in 147 patients (37.9%), and high (MMAS-8=8) in 39 patients (10.1%). Univariate analysis and multiple regression model adjustment revealed that educational level and anxiety related to long-term medication were independent negative influen-cing factors for medication adherence. By contrast, awareness of the drug abuse harm and the experience of adverse drug reactions were independent positive influencing factors.
conclusionsMedication adherence among patients with OLP is generally suboptimal. A high educational level and medication-related anxiety are risk factors for low adherence, whereas sufficient awareness of the harm of drug abuse and the actual experience of adverse drug reactions are associa-ted with good adherence. This situation suggests that differentiated patient education and increased attention to psychological intervention during treatment are necessary in clinical practice to improve medication adherence in patients OLP specifically.
