The administrative burden of medication affordability resources: an environmental scan with implications for health informatics to advance health equity.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
objectiveTo characterize and demonstrate how to reduce the administrative burden experienced by patients when navigating medication affordability resources in the United States. MATERIALS AND
methodsInformed by administrative burden theory, we conducted an environmental scan of medication affordability resources for atrial fibrillation, and four common comorbidities (diabetes, heart failure, hypertension, and lipid disorder). We systematically searched for resources (eg, patient assistance programs, savings cards and nonprofit support) and extracted information about types, eligibility criteria, needed documentation, and application processes.
resultsWe identified 66 resources across 12 categories across the five conditions. The resources' varied eligibility criteria, application processes, and requirements for providing sensitive financial documents could introduce multiple administrative costs for patients. DISCUSSION: The volume and complexity of medication affordability resources and related application processes may create substantial administrative burden for patients that could prevent their use-especially when prescribed multiple medications.
conclusionMedication affordability resource informatics tools that reduce administrative burden could advance equitable medication access.
