Medication adherence among Jordanian adults with chronic conditions: a combined analysis using regression and machine learning.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundManaging chronic illness effectively depends not only on treatment availability but also on patients' ability to adhere to prescribed medications.
objectivesThis study examined the factors influencing medication adherence among Jordanian adults with long-term conditions, using both traditional regression and machine learning methods.
methodIn this cross-sectional study, patients with chronic conditions completed an online survey that assessed demographic, clinical and behavioural variables, including Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ-12) and adherence (MARS-5). Quantile regression and machine learning models were applied.
resultsA total of 981 patients (63.1% females) were enrolled in the study. Quantile regression showed that higher health literacy, a diagnosis of diabetes or cardiovascular disease, and fewer prescribed medications were positively associated with adherence. In contrast, being married or having public, military or no insurance was linked to lower adherence scores. The Random Forest model achieved the highest predictive accuracy (
conclusionsThese findings highlight the need for targeted interventions that address both individual understanding and structural challenges, such as insurance type and treatment complexity. Improving health literacy, simplifying medication regimens, and ensuring equitable healthcare access may help support better adherence in this population. The use of explainable machine learning, alongside conventional statistical approaches, offers new opportunities to improve the understanding and prediction of adherence behaviours in resource-constrained settings.
