Impact of structured adherence training on healthcare professionals: a pilot study in Mexico and Thailand.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Medication non-adherence is a significant global challenge, particularly in chronic disease management, and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) play an important role in supporting adherence, yet often lack training and practical tools. Objectives: This pilot study evaluated the impact of a structured 6-month adherence training program-including educational sessions and self-learning, the Insight tool, and the my a:care app-on HCPs' knowledge and practices in Mexico and Thailand. Design: A prospective, dual-center pilot study was conducted among HCPs managing dyslipidemic patients in two hospitals (Mexico: Results: Both centers demonstrated significant improvements in HCPs' awareness, knowledge, and practices related to medication adherence. Routine assessment of adherence increased from 47 to 87% in Mexico, and from 22 to 80% in Thailand. Use of the Insight tool rose from 0 to 53% in Mexico and from 11 to 96% in Thailand. Recommendation of the my a:care app increased from 33 to 100% in Mexico and from 15 to 92% in Thailand. HCPs' confidence in addressing adherence improved, and more personalized support strategies were implemented. Baseline differences between centers reflected contextual factors such as prior resource access and local healthcare organization. Conclusion: A structured and standardized training program integrating behavioral science and digital tools improved HCPs' knowledge and clinical practices regarding medication adherence in two culturally distinct settings. These results need further research to confirm the findings on a larger scale and in diverse healthcare environments.
