Internet literacy and health related quality of life in urban Korean adults mediated by medication adherence and ego-resiliency.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Background As Korea's population ages, understanding factors that influence health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in middle-aged and older adults is crucial. Methods This study investigated how medication adherence and ego-resiliency mediate the relationship between internet literacy and HRQoL in middle-aged and older adults in South Korean. A total of 197 participants aged 40 or older, working in companies or volunteer groups, were recruited. Mediation effects were examined using Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 4). Results Internet literacy was significantly related to medication adherence (r = .423), ego-resiliency (r = .417), and HRQoL (r = .378). Both medication adherence and ego-resiliency positively correlated with HRQoL (r = .408 and r = .413, respectively). Ego-resiliency and medication adherence fully mediated the relationship between internet literacy and HRQoL (ß=0.003, ß=0.005). Conclusions Medication adherence and ego-resiliency mediate the link between internet literacy and HRQoL. Middle and older adults need continuous internet literacy education and ego-resiliency training to enhance HRQoL. Additionally, medication adherence may be relevant even for those not currently taking prescribed medications, as it reflects broader health behaviors.
