Medication Literacy and Social Support Among Adult Liver Transplant Recipients: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 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
Purpose: Long-term medication self-management after liver transplantation remains challenging. This study assessed medication literacy among adult liver transplant recipients, examined its association with perceived social support, and descriptively explored self-reported immunosuppressant-taking behaviors. Patients and Methods: A single-center cross-sectional survey was conducted among 161 adult liver transplant recipients attending outpatient follow-up at a tertiary grade A hospital in Nanjing, China. Medication literacy, perceived social support, demographic and clinical characteristics, and self-reported immunosuppressant-taking behaviors were collected using structured questionnaires. Group comparisons, multiple linear regression, and correlation analyses were performed. A post-hoc exploratory logistic regression was additionally conducted to examine factors associated with reporting any immunosuppressant non-adherence indicator. Results: Participants had a relatively high overall medication literacy score, although information acquisition was the weakest dimension. Educational level and perceived social support were independently associated with medication literacy. Family support showed the strongest correlation with medication literacy among social-support dimensions. More than half of participants reported at least one self-reported immunosuppressant-taking behavior indicating possible non-adherence, most commonly a deviation from the scheduled medication time, and higher perceived social support was associated with lower odds of immunosuppressant non-adherence in exploratory analysis. Conclusion: Medication literacy in adult liver transplant recipients was associated with educational level and perceived social support. The exploratory findings concerning immunosuppressant-taking behaviors require confirmation in prospective studies using validated and objective adherence measures.
