Health literacy and adherence to the pharmacological treatment by people with arterial hypertension.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo analyze the association between health literacy and the adherence to the pharmacological treatment of Brazilians with arterial hypertension.
methodsCross-sectional study with 234 participants who responded an on-line sociodemographic and clinical characterization questionnaire, in addition to evaluation of health literacy and of the adherence to their pharmacological treatment. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and difference and correlation tests.
resultsPeople with post-graduation, who were actively working and did not smoke, had better health literacy results. Elders and those who were retired or lived on government subsidies adhered better to the medication treatment. There was a correlation between the numerical dimension (rs=0.189; p=0.004) and the global health literacy result (r2=0.170; p=0.009) with the adherence.
conclusionsA better numerical and global understanding of health literacy was associated with better adherence to arterial hypertension medication treatment.
