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

Background: Although medication is important for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), medication adherence is low among parents. One of the key factors affecting medication adherence and disorder management is health literacy. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an educational program for parents of children with ADHD in improving medication adherence and health literacy. Methods: An educational program was developed that covered four main topics: general disorder information, treatment, parenting based on emotional needs, and basic health information. A total of 191 parents were screened and assigned 108 eligible participants to either the intervention group ( Results: Post-intervention, the intervention group showed significantly higher medication adherence (6.87 ± 1.36) than the control group (5.46 ± 1.45). The intervention group also demonstrated higher health literacy scores (82.34 ± 6.96) than the control group (72.15 ± 6.52). Covariance analysis revealed significant improvements in health literacy (F = 162.73, Conclusion: The educational program showed improvement in medication adherence and health literacy among parents of children with ADHD.
