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
backgroundHypertension affects over a billion people in the world, despite this prevalence, poor adherence to antihypertensive medication remains the main problem in low-income regions. Social support and resilience might influence adherence to antihypertensive medication.This cross-sectional study investigated the associations among perceived social support, resilience, and antihypertensive medication adherence in hypertensive patients in Izeh County, Iran.
methodsThis descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted, from April to December 2024 among adults with hypertension selected through a two-stage cluster sampling method from urban and rural health centers in Izeh County. Of the 600 initially enrolled participants (350 urban, 250 rural), 70 were excluded due to more than two missing items on the MMAS-8 questionnaire, leaving 530 participants for analysis. Data were collected using self-administered validated questionnaires under researcher supervision at urban and rural health centers, including the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Resilience Questionnaire.No resilience subscales were removed due to intellectual property restrictions, and potential conceptual overlap was statistically controlled. Analyses were conducted using SPSS 24 and AMOS 20, applying regression, path analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) to assess direct and indirect pathways.
resultsPerceived social support showed a significant positive effect on resilience (β = 0.43, p < 0.001) and an indirect effect on medication adherence (β = 0.10, p < 0.001). Resilience had a significant direct effect on medication adherence (β = 0.19, p = 0.002). The direct effect of social support on medication adherence was not statistically significant (p = 0.070). Among social support dimensions, family support was the strongest (M = 15.82, SD = 2.82). The SEM model demonstrated The model demonstrated an acceptable fit to the observed data (RMSEA = 0.054; CFI = 0.91).
conclusionThese findings bring out the imperative of social support and resilience to medication adherence among hypertensive patients. It is important to strengthen the social networks and psychological resilience to improve adherence to antihypertensive medication and overall disease management,Psychosocial strategies should thus be incorporated into future interventions to improve adherence to antihypertensive medication within resource-limited settings.
