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

introductionOral anticoagulation Self-control programs have demonstrated efficiency over recent years.

objectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate the level of knowledge and coagulation level of self-controlled anticoagulated patients after an educational program.

designA quasi-experimental study, pre-test and post-test. SITE: Health area of the Hematology Service of the Virgen de la Victoria University Hospital (Málaga, Spain).

participantsSelf-monitored anticoagulated patients.

interventionsEducational intervention about oral anticoagulation knowledge focused on patients that will initiate the self-control program in our consultation. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: To check the patient's adherence and coagulation level, we evaluated the Rosendaal Time in Therapeutic Rank (TTRr), both before and after the intervention.

results145 patients have been included from 2016 to 2022 with a mean age of 49.18 years (SD 17.24). The mean score for the first test about knowledge was 14.61 (SD 3.26) and the mean score for the second test was 17.01 (SD 2.14) (p <0.001). Values before and after interventions were also statistically significant (67.46 vs 70.53, p<0.001).

conclusionsThe results showed that knowledge improved after the training session and the TTR values are better after the training which appears to be an effective action to improve the knowledge about oral anticoagulation in these patients.
