Linking health literacy to medication adherence in chronic disease management from a community pharmacy perspective.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Introduction: Health literacy is an important health determinant that is associated with adherence to medication. This complex relationship affects the control of chronic medical conditions and may offer opportunities that impact the role of community pharmacist. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted through interviews with patients in the community pharmacy settings. The adherence to medication was assessed using the validated Arabic version of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Health literacy was evaluated using the validated Arabic version of the Health Literacy Survey European Questionnaire's short version (HLS-EU-Q16). Results: Half of the participants exhibited low adherence ( Conclusion: Inadequate health literacy was associated with low adherence. Health literacy, geographic/regional location, and health status were significant predictors of adherence. Community pharmacists play an important role in improving health literacy through interventions that can be implemented in an individualized manner taking into consideration the characteristics of the patients.
