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

Warfarin is a critical medication that is broadly used for the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic disorders. Due to warfarin's narrow therapeutic index, it is crucial that patients follow an appropriate dosage regimen. Patient knowledge is one of the most important factors to safe and effective use of warfarin. Due to the obvious risks of anticoagulants administration, evaluating patients' awareness seems to be crucial. The purpose of this article was to evaluate the effects of intervention by an informative pamphlet on knowledge and adherence of patients who consumed warfarin. Two-hundred and fifty patients receiving warfarin were assigned to the study. They were asked to fill in the questionnaire. Then patients were provided with an educational pamphlet. In the second interview, patients filled the questionnaire again. Obtained data were assessed and analyzed by Excel software and SPSS version 18.0. Out of 250 patients who entered the study, 150 patients attended for the second interview. Data analysis revealed that out of 13 explanatory factors, only patients' literacy level and income were the predictors which inversely correlated with the patients' adherence (r = -0.44;
