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

Potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) in the elderly is a common problem in primary care. Depending on the setting under investigation, recent studies reported a prevalence of PIM up to 24% in Germany. In 2010 the German national PRISCUS list containing explicit criteria to identify PIM was published. First data show a possible association between PIM as defined by the Priscus list and negative health outcomes. However, prospective controlled trials are needed to assess whether interventions based on explicit criteria are able to improve patient-related outcome. Against this backdrop, the present review comments on recent data, especially those with impact for the German health care system.
