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
Purpose: To investigate the medication literacy and influencing factors among patients with multimorbidity. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess medication literacy using the medication literacy scale in patients with multimorbidity. Data were collected between June 20 and August 31, 2023, using stratified and quota sampling methods. The Wilcoxon tests or Kruskal-Wallis tests, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple stepwise linear regression were employed for the analysis. Results: 3,955 patients with multimorbidity were included, with the average medication literacy score of 18.56±4.52 (scale range: 6-30). Younger age groups (18-30, 31-44, 45-59 years) had higher medication literacy than those aged 60 years or older (β = 0.11, 0.14, 0.17 respectively; all Conclusion: It is critically important to improve medication literacy in patients with multimorbidity, particularly by optimizing medication instructions for understanding. Tailored interventions targeting older, less educated, rural, and central/western populations with emphasis on depression management and social support are needed.
