PHARMACOVIGILANCE AND KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE, AND PRACTICE STUDY ON ANTI-DIABETIC MEDICATIONS IN GERIATRIC CLINICS AT A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL.

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
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder stemming from pancreatic dysfunction, is surging in India, notably among those aged 60 and above. The escalating disease prevalence in this demographic necessitates heightened medication use, escalating the risk of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). This underscores the vital role of ADR monitoring to curtail potential harm. Method: A 12-month cross-sectional, prospective, observational study engaged 200 participants from the geriatric Outpatient Department (OPD). Diabetic patients in the geriatric OPD, willing to participate, underwent face-to-face evaluations using a structured questionnaire focused on adverse reactions to anti-diabetic medications. The study also included a Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) assessment. Results: Of the 200 patients, 57% were male, 43% female. Thirteen participants (7 male, 6 female) reported ADR encounters during therapy, predominantly categorized as mild in causality and severity. KAP assessments unveiled a robust understanding of ADRs, primarily shaped by physicians and reinforced by pharmacists. Anticipation of ADR occurrence was noted in 70% of respondents, linked to non-compliance and lifestyle factors. Conclusion: Educating caregivers about the critical importance of monitoring medication adherence among the elderly is imperative. Cultivating an attitude of reporting even minor ADRs to appropriate authorities is essential for harm prevention.
