A Primer on Clinical Pathways.
Article in Hospital pharmacy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Leaders in health-system pharmacy are challenged to maintain the highest quality pharmacy service at the lowest cost. Clinical pathways are evidence-based road maps that assist in reducing variations in clinical practice. Integration of clinical pathways within the electronic health record further helps to facilitate evidence-based practice. This article reviews the evolution of the clinical pathways, describes their clinical and economic impact, and identifies ways pharmacy directors can successfully implement these pathways into their institutions. Pharmacy directors can utilize their skills in this area or task clinical pharmacists to serve as members of the clinical pathway development team to further enhance patient-centered pharmacy services.
