Detection of prescribing related problems at the community pharmacy.
Article in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to detect prescribing-related problems at a community pharmacy in Madrid (Spain) and to analyze these problems from the perspective of their prevention and patient safety.
methodA descriptive study was conducted at a community pharmacy during a 6-month period. The data collection was generated by the pharmacists reviewing all the prescriptions, and dispensed medication. All prescriptions, prescribing-related problems, and pharmacist interventions were recorded. Means, standard deviation, and frequency were calculated.
resultsA total of 23,995 prescriptions were evaluated, and 355 prescribing errors were detected. The most common problems were incomplete prescriptions or incorrect information, and prescriptions for unavailable items 70% (247/355). Inappropriate doses were reported in 27 cases (7.61%), followed by inappropriate direction/ instruction in 25 cases (8%). Fifty-four percent (195/355) of the errors were resolved without any contact with the general practices.
conclusionsThe incidence of prescribing problems reported by community pharmacy was relatively low compared with other studies. This study has contributed to illustrate the role that community pharmacy has in the detection and rectification of prescribing problems to ensure maximum patient safety at the community setting.
