Adherence in outpatients taking warfarin and its effect on anticoagulation control in Jordan.
Article in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 Medication adherence is an important element for the success of any therapeutic plan. The picture is more complicated with warfarin, due to its small therapeutic window and patients' needs to have effective anticoagulation control. Objective To measure warfarin-adherence, warfarin-knowledge and to assess the relationship between adherence and anticoagulation control. Setting Adult outpatients (≥18 years) taking warfarin at two medical sites in north of Jordan were invited to participate. Method This was a cross sectional study in which survey questionnaire that included demographic, clinical, warfarin related questions and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) was administered to patients in Arabic language. International normalization ratio (INR) readings were retrieved from patients' medical records. Main outcome measure MMAS-8 adherence scores and time within therapeutic range were calculated. Results More than half of study participants (54 %) were adherent (MMAS-8 = 8). The MMAS-8 adherence scores were significantly associated with warfarin-knowledge scores (Spearman's ρ = 0.291, p = 0.000). Adherent patients were more likely to have good anticoagulation control compared to non-adherent patients (MMAS-8 ≤ 7). Conclusion Adherence to warfarin therapy can have a substantial effect on anticoagulation control. Thus, healthcare practitioners should consider strategies to improve patient adherence to warfarin.
