Physician Perceptions of Consultant Pharmacist Services Associated with an Intervention for Adverse Drug Events in the Nursing Facility.
Trial report in The Consultant pharmacist : the journal of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectiveTo assess the importance and performance of consultant pharmacist services delivered before and after an intervention to detect and manage adverse drug events among nursing facility residents.
designBefore and after intervention survey of physicians participating in a randomized, controlled trial.
settingFour nonprofit, academically affiliated nursing facilities.
participantsAttending physicians providing nursing facility care who were randomized to intervention or control groups.
interventionsWithin the intervention arm, consultant pharmacists provided academic detailing in which trained health care professionals visit practicing physicians in their offices and present the most up-to-date clinical information. Physicians responded to alerts from a medication monitoring system, adjudicated system alerts for adverse drug events (ADEs), and provided structured recommendations about ADE management.
main outcome measuresWe compared physicians' assessments of the importance and performance of consultant pharmacist services before and after the trial intervention in the intervention and control groups.
resultsIn the intervention group, ratings of importance increased for all 24 survey questions, and 5 of the changes were statistically significant (P < 0.05). In the control group, ratings of importance increased for 16 questions, and none of the changes were statistically significant. In the intervention group, ratings of performance increased for all 24 questions, and 20 of the changes were statistically significant. In the control group, ratings of performance increased for 16 questions, and none of the changes was statistically significant.
conclusionA multifaceted, consultant pharmacist-led intervention comprising academic detailing, computerized decision support, and structured communication framework can improve physicians' assessment of importance and performance of consultant pharmacist services. ABBREVIATIONS: ADE = Adverse drug event, M = Statistically significant mean, RCT = Randomized controlled trial, SBAR = Situation, Background, Discussion, Recommendation, SD = Standard deviation.
