Analysis of medication literacy status and influencing factors of family caregivers for old people with traumatic hip fractures.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 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
objectiveTo investigate the medication literacy status of family caregivers for old people with traumatic hip fractures and analyze the influencing factors.
methodsThe primary caregivers of old people with traumatic hip fractures admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the research objects. General information was collected using the electronic medical record system or by interviewing family members. The Chinese Medication Literacy Measurement (ChMLM) was used to assess the medication literacy status of the study subjects. Univariate and multivariate linear regression. were conducted to identify the influencing factors of medication literacy among family caregivers for traumatic old people hip fractures. Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the relationships between variables.
resultsThe mean total ChMLM score of 204 participants was 10.80 ± 2.95. Multivariate linear regression showed that age, education level, monthly household income, occupation, number of medications used by the patient, length of hospital stay, and reading medication instructions were independent influencing factors (P < 0.05), explaining 45.1% of the variance. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that age < 45 years, education ≥ junior high school, monthly income ≥ ¥5000, employed status, patient's medications < 5 types, hospital stay ≥ 5 days, and reading medication instructions were positively correlated with higher ChMLM scores (all P < 0.05).
conclusionThe medication literacy status of family caregivers for old people with traumatic hip fractures is poor. Health education should be strengthened based on risk factors to improve the home medication use of patients. These findings suggest that clinical health education should target at-risk caregivers to enhance medication literacy and improve patient safety and outcomes.
