Assessment of Clinical Characteristics and Sociocontextual Factors on Medication Adherence in Children and Adolescents With Hemophilia.
Article in Pediatric blood & cancer, 2025. 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
introductionSociocontextual factors, including social determinants of health (SDOH), affect health outcomes and clinical progression in chronic blood diseases such as hemophilia. Continuous prophylaxis with intravenous clotting factor concentrates or subcutaneous factor VIII mimetic agents reduces bleeding and improves quality of life. However, adherence to prophylaxis is challenging.
aimTo investigate the impact of clinical and sociocontextual factors, including SDOH, on adherence to prophylaxis in children and adolescents with hemophilia.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, parent and adolescent participants were enrolled from 2018 to 2023. Adherence to prophylaxis was measured by Hemophilia Regimen Treatment Adherence Scale-Prophylaxis as overall adherence as well as "time," "dose," "plan," "remember," "skip," and "communicate" subscales. Sociocontextual factors were assessed by self-reported validated surveys. Linear regression analysis was performed.
resultsOf 41 parent participants, 56% were Hispanic. There was no difference in adherence scores between Hispanic and non-Hispanic parents (p = 0.97). Older age of child (p = 0.002), prophylaxis via peripheral intravenous route (vs. central line, p = 0.004), and use of Spanish language for medical communication (vs. English, p = 0.002) were associated with lower adherence. Higher trust in provider was associated with higher adherence (p = 0.051).
conclusionOur findings may help guide tailored interventions to improve adherence, including targeting older children/adolescents as they become independent in their care, language-concordant education, and measures to improve social support and enhance trust in healthcare providers.
