Medication Adherence and Contributing Factors in Patients with Heart Failure Within the Middle East: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Global heart, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Medication adherence among heart failure (HF) patients in the Middle East remains a critical, under-explored issue. This systematic review examines medication adherence rates and their influencing factors in this region. A search of PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar identified 12 studies published between 2013 and 2023, revealing an average non-adherence rate of 60%. Influential factors include socioeconomic status, education, psychiatric conditions, and medication-related issues. Significant gaps in research methodologies and reporting were noted. The review highlights the impact of socio-economic determinants on adherence and calls for more robust research and targeted interventions to address these barriers. Improving patient education and healthcare provider communication are crucial to enhancing adherence rates. These findings underscore the importance of addressing regional challenges through tailored approaches and suggest further studies are needed to develop effective strategies for improving adherence among HF patients in the Middle East.
