Implementation of clinical pharmacy services in a pediatric dialysis unit.
Trial report in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundEnd-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis are on complex drug regimens consisting of multiple medications, many of which are administered in several doses per day. Consequently, such patients are at high risk for developing drug therapy-related problems (DTRPs). The aim of this study was to detect DTRPs in children undergoing hemodialysis and to assess and evaluate the impact of interventions by the clinical pharmacist on the clinical outcome of children undergoing hemodialysis.
methodsFifty hemodialysis outpatients were randomly divided into two groups (25 each): the control group and the test group. During the 9-month study period, patients in the control group received the usual medical care, and those in the test group received pharmaceutical care 3 times weekly in addition to the usual medical care.
resultsAfter 9 months of pharmaceutical care implementation, the test group showed a significant decline in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.0001), serum phosphorus level (p = 0.006) and parathyroid hormone level (p = 0.001) versus their baseline values and versus the control. The serum Ca*P product level of the test group decreased (p = 0.001) after intervention versus baseline. Serum calcium level significantly increased in test group (p = 0.02) and decreased in the control group (p = 0.001) versus the respective baseline values. Satisfaction with the renal treatment significantly improved in the test group (p = 0.0001) versus the control group after 9 months of pharmaceutical care implementation based on Renal Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire scores.
conclusionsPharmacist-initiated pharmaceutical care improved the satisfaction and biochemical findings of patients on hemodialysis.
