Knowledge and medication adherence of oral anticoagulant-taking patients in Vietnam.
Article in Research and practice in thrombosis and haemostasis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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: Oral anticoagulants for venous thromboembolism are not thoroughly managed in ambulatory settings in low-/middle-income countries, primarily because of patients' neglect of medication knowledge and adherence. Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate patient knowledge, adherence, and the associated factors at a Vietnamese tertiary hospital, serving as a reference for educational programs in other local and regional health care facilities. Methods: A randomly recruited cross-sectional study was conducted on patients using vitamin K antagonists (VKA) or direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC). The primary and secondary outcomes were the knowledge score (in percent) and adherence to oral anticoagulants. Student's Results: A total of 199 patients were included. After adjusting for potential confounders, patients receiving a DOAC had similar knowledge scores and levels of adherence compared with those taking VKA, with both groups being suboptimal. Previous counseling was associated with higher knowledge. Better medication knowledge, female sex, and no history of venous thromboembolism were associated with better adherence. Conclusion: Good knowledge and adherence of oral anticoagulant-taking patients remain limited in Southeast Asian clinical practice. Further studies in similar settings should examine the associations between these factors and the effectiveness of the regimens. More effective measures targeting patient knowledge and adherence should be implemented to optimize anticoagulation therapy, improve the patients' outcomes, and mitigate the associated adverse effects.
