Medication non-adherence and its predictors among chronic heart failure patients in Northwest Amhara region.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Heart failure represents a substantial public health challenge, affecting over 64 million individuals worldwide. Effective adherence is essential to enhance patient quality of life and mitigate the risks of hospitalization associated with these progressive conditions. This study aims to assess the magnitude of non-adherence and identify associated factors among Chronic Heart Failure patients receiving follow-up care. A multicenter prospective cross-sectional institutional-based study involving 360 adult CHF patients was conducted from December 2023 to April 2024. Data were systematically collected utilizing a pretested abstraction format. Non-adherence rates were quantized, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify significant predictors of non-adherence, with effect size measured by odds ratio. The study identified a non-adherence rate of 17.7% among the cohort. Key factors associated with increased non-adherence include irregular follow-up visits (AOR 1.11, CI 1.06-1.16), presence of orthopnea (AOR 5.02, CI 1.04-12.21), and cor pulmonale (AOR 12.00, CI 1.14-15.30). These findings suggest that experiencing orthopnea and those with irregular follow-ups are markedly more likely to have poor adherence to prescribed therapies. Improving medication adherence through regular follow-up and symptom management is crucial for better outcomes and reducing healthcare burdens in CHF patients.
