[Do we primary care doctors improve our prescription of generic medicines after the intervention of the area pharmacist?].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2006. 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
objectiveTo evaluate the prescription of generic medicines by the primary care doctors in a health district after an intervention programme conducted by the area pharmacist.
designIntervention study. Two indicators were selected as indicators of pharmaceutical prescription of generics.
settingPrimary care. District 8 of Area 3, Valencian Community, Spain.
participantsEleven family doctors and 2 paediatricians.
interventionsa) Information session in the health centre given by the area pharmacist; b) delivery of the catalogue of generic medicines; c) delivery of the control panel to every physician; and d) possibility of connection to the GAIA system. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: A before-and-after evaluation was made (at 6 months and 12 months from the intervention) of every doctor. Values were compared with the 2 indicators of pharmaceutical prescription.
resultsBefore the intervention, no doctor was fulfilling the Indicators of pharmaceutical prescription 1 and 2. At 6 months, all the doctors had increased their prescription of generics. Seven doctors met the objective of Indicator 1; and 8, that of indicator 2. At 12 months the increase remained and even grew.
conclusionsThe prescription of generics measured with indicators of pharmaceutical prescription 1 and 2 improved.
