Medication literacy among patients with chronic diseases in long-term care facilities: a latent profile analysis.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. 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
Objective: This study aims to examine the potential medication literacy profiles of patients with chronic diseases in long-term care facilities and to analyze the influencing factors, thereby providing a basis for developing targeted intervention programs. Methods: This study conducted a cross-sectional study among 403 older patients with chronic diseases in 41 long-term care facilities in Nanchong City, China, from January to April 2025. Latent profile analysis was conducted using the 23 items of the older adults chronic disease medication literacy scale as manifest variables, followed by multinomial logistic regression to analyze the influencing factors. Results: Three distinct medication literacy profiles were identified: high medication literacy with active communication and interaction (30.3%), moderate medication literacy with passive dependence (47.4%), and low medication literacy with limited information acquisition (22.3%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that educational level, pension status, frequency of health checkups, staff attention, self-assessment of medication effectiveness, perceived social support, and self-efficacy for appropriate medication use significantly influenced the medication literacy categories. Conclusion: The overall medication literacy of patients with chronic diseases in long-term care facilities is above average; however, significant individual differences remain. Clinical staff and institutional caregivers should develop and implement targeted interventions based on influencing factors to enhance medication literacy.
