1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Patients in internal medicine frequently experience adverse drug events. Many of those events, however, are avoidable because they are caused by medication errors, which are particularly frequent in drug prescribing. Therefore, practical concepts are needed to make the rapidly growing knowledge on drugs available already during prescription. But also when deviations from standards are intended access to up-to-date information is required. Computer-based systems can offer support for prescribing clinicians to meet these claims and thus improve the quality of pharmacotherapy. To reach this goal, such systems have to be interlinked among each other and with systems of primary, secondary, and tertiary care. They must be based on scientific published evidence and should consider as many factors as possible for individualization of drug therapy. Individualization and focusing on relevant information are prerequisites to prevent inappropriate alerts (over-alerting) and thus to increase acceptance in practical use.
