Factors associated with medication adherence among young adults with hypertension.

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: Poor adherence to antihypertensive medication remains a significant barrier to blood pressure control in young patients. The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with antihypertensive medication adherence among young adults with hypertension. Methods: From the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, we included 141,132 participants aged 20 to 39 years (80.4% male), without cardiovascular disease, who initiated antihypertensive medication between 2013 and 2018. Participants were categorized as exhibiting good adherence (proportion of days covered [PDC] ≥ 0.8) or poor adherence (PDC < 0.8) to antihypertensive medication during the first year of treatment. We investigated the associations of demographic, lifestyle, and clinical factors with good medication adherence based on logistic regression analysis. Results: Only 43.3% ( Conclusions: Although antihypertensive medication adherence is generally poor among young adults, we identified potential demographic and clinical factors associated with good adherence to antihypertensive treatment. Initial use of a single-pill combination may promote adherence in young patients, and its long-term clinical outcomes warrant further investigation.
