1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

We developed a novel anticoagulation management system (Anticlot Assistant) based on a smartphone application (App). This study was performed to evaluate patient compliance with Anticlot Assistant. This prospective case series study involved patients receiving warfarin therapy. The eligible patients were managed via Anticlot Assistant, and outcome data were analyzed. Thirty patients were recruited. The mean time within the therapeutic range (TTR) was 56.5% ± 26.2% and the mean patient compliance with Anticlot Assistant was 52.7% ± 40.4%. The patients in good compliance group had higher TTR (65.6 ± 25.0% vs. 40.0 ± 21.0%, P = 0.009), lower time in the extremely low range (9.4 ± 10.6% vs. 27.4 ± 13.2%, P = 0.000) and in the extremely high range (1.3 ± 2.8% vs. 14.1 ± 22.3%, P = 0.004) than those in poor compliance group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that receiving an education of > 6 years was the only independent predictor of good compliance (odds ratio 8.400, 95% confidence interval 1.274-55.394, P = 0.027). Patient compliance is critical important for good outcomes and it might increase with improvements in education and more widespread use of information technology. Although further improvement is needed, Anticlot Assistant is promising and this study offered valuable experiences for further research.
