Development and evaluation of a medication counseling workshop for physicians: can we improve on 'take two pills and call me in the morning'?
Article in Medical education online, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundPhysicians often do not provide adequate medication counseling. PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate an educational program to improve physicians' assessment of adherence and their medication counseling skills, with attention to health literacy.
methodsWe compared internal medicine residents' confidence and counseling behaviors, measured by self-report at baseline and one month after participation in a two-hour interactive workshop.
resultsFifty-four residents participated; 35 (65%) completed the follow-up survey. One month after training, residents reported improved confidence in assessing and counseling patients (p<0.001), including those with low health literacy (p<0.001). Residents also reported more frequent use of desirable behaviors, such as assessing patients' medication understanding and adherence barriers (p<0.05 for each), addressing costs when prescribing (p<0.01), suggesting adherence aids (p<0.01), and confirming patient understanding with teach-back (p<0.05).
conclusionA medication counseling workshop significantly improved residents' self-reported confidence and behaviors regarding medication counseling one month later.
