Specific Medication Literacy in Older Adults with Asthma.
Article in The journal for nurse practitioners : JNP, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: To explore specific medication literacy (SML) of older adults and associations of SML strength. Methods: This was an observational study. Participants were at least 60 years old, with an asthma diagnosis and in good health. Data were collected by a registered nurse researcher. The SML data collection instrument gathered information about each medication a participant used: name, purpose, how taken, special instructions, adverse effects, and drug-drug or drug-disease interactions. An SML scoring rubric was developed. Results: All could provide name, and most provided purpose, how taken. The lowest SML domains were side effects and interactions. Age at time of asthma diagnosis correlated with stronger SML scores and living in a disadvantaged neighborhood correlated with lower SML scores. Discussion: Gaps in medication literacy may create less ability to self-monitor. Patients want medication literacy but struggle with appropriate, individualized, information. Conclusion: The study provides insights on gaps and opportunities for SML.
