Medication self-management support for people with diabetes and low health literacy: A needs assessment.
Article in PloS one, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionAn adequate level of health literacy is regarded as a prerequisite for adequate medication self-management. Low health literacy skills are relatively more common in people with Diabetes Mellitus type 2. The aim of this study was to explore the needs regarding medication self-management of people with type 2 diabetes and low (functional, communicative and critical) health literacy, and their preferences for medication self-management support. MATERIALS AND
methodsA two-stage qualitative needs assessment study was performed using in-depth individual interviews and focus groups.
resultsThe participants preferred to be supported with reliable and easily understandable information, adequate interactive communication with health care professionals and fellow people with diabetes and tools for medication self-management support. DISCUSSION: Future interventions should be created in co-creation with people with low health literacy and fulfill the expressed needs on information, communication and tools to improve self-management.
