Anticoagulation Patterns in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation in Developing Country: Insights from the Stroke Registry in Vietnam.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2024. 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
(1) Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) poses a growing cardiovascular challenge globally, with significant implications in Vietnam. This study aimed to investigate the impact of AF on ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) and clinical outcomes, as well as the utilization of oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy in Vietnam. (2) Methods: Data from the Registry of Stroke Care Quality (RES-Q) across 66 hospitals in Vietnam between 2017 and 2023 were utilized. Patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke or TIA were included, and clinical characteristics, pre- and post-hospitalization medication, and hospitalized outcomes were examined. (3) Results: Of 94,144 patients, 15.1% had AF. Patients with AF were older and had a higher prevalence of heart failure and more severe strokes. AF was associated with increased mortality during hospitalization and a poorer prognosis. In AF patients, anticoagulation therapy utilization increased from 15.8% pre-hospitalization to 82.4% at discharge, with a preference for direct oral anticoagulants. (4) Conclusions: AF significantly impacts ischemic stroke/TIA outcomes in Vietnam. Pre-hospitalization and anticoagulation therapy utilization were low but improved at discharge. These findings emphasize the need for improved AF management and stroke prevention strategies in developing countries.
