Two-Year Follow-Up of a Communication Intervention on Medication Adherence and Health Literacy in Kidney Transplanted Recipients-A Randomised Controlled Study.
Trial report in Journal of renal care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPatients with chronic conditions, including kidney transplanted recipients, are required to actively participate in their continuous care and maintain motivation to adhere consistently to treatment.
objectivesOur study aimed to test long-term effectiveness of a new health communication intervention designed to improve on medication adherence and health literacy in kidney transplant recipients 2 years following transplantation.
designA randomised controlled non-blinded study was conducted between March 2020 and August 2023.
participantsOne hundred and ninety-five kidney transplant recipients were included. MEASUREMENTS: Primary outcomes were self-reported medication adherence, measured by the BAASIS questionnaire, and health literacy, measured by the Health Literacy Questionnaire. The response rate was 87% (170 of 195 patients).
resultsThis study showed a significant difference between groups in favour of the intervention group for medication adherence (p < 0.02) and two essential Health Literacy Questionnaire domains-'navigating the health care system' (p < 0.02) and 'having social support for health' (p > 0.03)-2 years after transplantation. Regarding health literacy, three Health Literacy Questionnaire domains showed a significant correlation with adherence: 'having sufficient information to manage health' (p < 0.04), 'having social support for health' (p < 0.04), and 'ability to understand health information well enough to know what to do' (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe findings in the study highlight the pivotal role of health communication in enhancing medication adherence and supporting important health literacy aspects for kidney transplant recipients.
