Impact of health literacy and illness perception on medication adherence among older adults with hypertension in Iran: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Background: Adherence to medication is an essential factor in controlling and reducing the side effects of non-communicable diseases, particularly hypertension. Medication adherence varies in older adults due to the effects of various factors. The research aimed to examine the determinants of medication adherence among older adults with hypertension. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed among 300 people aged 60 years or older referring to health centers in Sarab, Iran, between February and May 2023. To collect data, valid and reliable tools were applied. Results: There was a significant association between age groups, level of education, and monthly income status with adherence to medication ( Conclusion: According to the results, demographic variables, illness perception, and HL dimensions were the main determinants of medication adherence among older adults. Health educators should focus on creating interventions that improve medication adherence by addressing illness perception and health literacy dimensions in this particular population.
