Multilayer perceptron modeling of health literacy and medication adherence determinants in Arab patients with cardiometabolic disease: the role of quality of life, eating behaviors, and physical activity.
Article in BMC research notes, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveCardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) are a leading cause of global mortality, with an increasing prevalence in the Arab world, particularly among older patients. This pioneer study using the MLP modeling technique will investigate the determinants of health literacy and medical adherence among Arab CMD patients, focusing specifically on quality of life, eating behaviors, and physical activity. Here we conducted study on Arab patients with cardiometabolic diseases using validated instruments to assess medication adherence, health literacy, quality of life, eating behavior, and physical activity and observed the relationships between them using machine learning modelling technique.
resultsThe study demonstrated that 82.4% of participants reported low medication adherence, and 39.8% had adequate health literacy. Physical activity had a weak positive correlation with medication adherence while participants with higher adherence were somewhat more health-literate but reported lower enjoyment of food. The study observed using the MLP model that the medical adherence and the health literacy models demonstrated strong classification performance for predictors like quality of life, hunger, emotional overeating, and satiety responsiveness. The study highlighted that the ML model identified quality of life, eating behavior, and physical activity as key predictors for health literacy and medication adherence among Arab cardiometabolic patients.
