[Pharmacy attention to prescriptions in order to bring practice into line with scientific evidence].

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
objectiveThe objective of this study is to assess the usefulness of a programme of attention to pharmaceutical prescriptions (APP) so as to detect medicine-related problems.
designA descriptive study of the findings after six months operation of this programme.
settingFive primary care centres in the Bahía-Cádiz Area. PATIENTS: All the patients (499) who requested advice on their drug therapy and were included at the request and on the criterion of their doctor were studied.
interventionWe introduced the APP programme for chronic patients, with two basic aims: Care: to detect medicine-related problems and propose individual solutions. Teaching: to bring drug-therapy skills used in clinical practice into line with the scientific evidence available. MEASUREMENTS AND
resultsWe focused on the detection of problems related to the most common medicines, with direct and relevant incidence on morbidity and mortality. We detected 236 cases (47%) of possible therapeutic improvement that had important implications for associated morbidity, of which 114 (23%) also had implications for mortality. 56% of the patients took more than 4 medicines, multiple medication that could easily be reduced in 43.5% of cases, so avoiding the use of medicines of low intrinsic value.
conclusionsThe programme was very useful, as numerous very clinically relevant problems were detected and information was gained that the doctor can use to bring drug therapy into line with the available scientific evidence.
