Changing relationships: attitudes and opinions of general practitioners and pharmacists regarding the role of the community pharmacist.
Article in Pharmacy world & science : PWS, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00268775 (Implementation Strategies Aimed at a Simple Patient-directed Intervention to Reduce Long-term Use of Benzodiazepines in Dutch Community Pharmacies), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundRelationship between general practitioners and pharmacists.
aimTo explore similarities and differences in opinions between general practitioners and pharmacists about the pharmacist's role. To identify factors which determine the attitude of the general practitioner towards the role of the pharmacist as a care provider.
designCross-sectional questionnaire survey.
settingThe Netherlands, 2001.
participants926 non-dispensing general practitioners, 93 dispensing general practitioners and 328 community pharmacists.
methodsStatements about the pharmacist's position in primary care were formulated. The attitude towards the pharmacist's care-providing function was determined by adding the scores to the statements. Data were collected on age, gender, professional experience, trainership, type and size of practice, electronic communication, urbanisation level, part-time work, work pressure, postgraduate training, pharmacotherapy audit meetings (PTAMs), the mutual relationship and the desired role of the pharmacist in pharmacotherapy.
resultsNo significant differences in opinions were found between pharmacists and non-dispending general practitioners with respect to a number of the pharmacist's signalling tasks. Eighty-six percent (CI 83-89) of non-dispensing general practitioners and eighty-two percent (CI 76-87) of pharmacists shared the opinion that pharmacists need to provide the general practitioner with feedback on prescription figures. Furthermore, 85% (CI 82-88) of the non-dispensing general practitioners and 80% (CI 75-86) of the pharmacists believed that pharmacists should suggest items for the PTAM agenda, based on prescription patterns they notice in their pharmacy. The attitude of general practitioners towards the care-providing function of the community pharmacist correlates significantly with the relationship between general practitioners and pharmacists (P < 0.001). There is also a significant difference (P < 0.001) in the attitude score between dispensing and non-dispensing general practitioners: dispensing general practitioners scored lower on the attitude scale.
conclusionPharmacists and general practitioners largely agree on the pharmacotherapeutic signalling role that a pharmacist should fulfill. A good relationship benefits the attitude of general practitioners towards the pharmacist's care-providing function.
