An example of using a decision making framework designed for non-medical prescribers as a method for enhancing prescribing safety for inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).

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
Non-medical prescribing is needed especially with the increased demand for health care and the physicians' time constrains. Also, it is not well regulated in Saudi Arabia unlike the United Kingdom. This report aims to demonstrate the urged need for regulations to maintain a safe non-medical prescribing process. It also adapts the single competency framework provided by the United Kingdom national prescribing centre (NPC, 2012) to be utilised by the respiratory therapist for a safe prescribing process for inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) to control adult asthma as an example. The framework is thought to be an effective tool for safe non-medical prescribing and it is highly recommended to develop a national Saudi framework to maintain the patients' safety and utilise resources.
