1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To investigate medication self-management in patients with stroke and its relationship with general demographics, self-efficacy and medication literacy. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Patients with stroke who received treatment in Jiangnan University Affiliated Hospital between July 2023 and January 2024 were selected as the study participants. The General Characteristics Questionnaire, the Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use Scale (SEAMS), the Chinese version of the Drug Literacy Scale and the Self-Administration of Medication tool were used to investigate patients with stroke and to analyse the factors influencing the self-management of their medication. Results: A total of 210 patients were included in this study. The average score of medication self-management was 66.71 (standard deviation = 9.55), and SEAMS and medication literacy scores were positively correlated with the total score of medication self-management behaviour. Furthermore, we found that the Barthel index (BI), SEAMS and medication literacy scores were the main predictors of medication self-management behaviour ( Conclusion: This study found that patients with stroke with a lower BI and higher SEAMS or medication literacy scores also had higher levels of medication self-management. The factors discussed in this study may help develop individualised interventions in medication self-management for patients with stroke.
