Developing and testing an electronic medication administration monitoring device for community dwelling seniors: a feasibility study.
Article in Pilot and feasibility studies, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03513224 (The Use of an Electronic Medication Administration-monitoring Device to Improve Medication Adherence and Reduce Medication Regimen Complexity in Community Dwelling Seniors), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundMedication non-adherence, polypharmacy, and adverse drug events are major healthcare issues leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare expenditures. Currently, there are no methods to systematically track medication usage in community-dwelling seniors. The eDosette prototype was created to make medication use patterns visible via the Internet. This study aims to demonstrate feasibility, usability, and acceptability of the eDosette in community-dwelling seniors in primary care.
methodsA 2-week feasibility study involving a convenience sample of 10 patients from an academic family medicine teaching unit in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, was conducted over a 6-month period between April and October 2015. The eDosette transmitted hourly electronic data via the Internet on each participant's pattern of medication use; this data was converted into an individualized medication administration record (MAR). Based on the MARs from the 10 participants, the frequency of missed medication doses, the time of dose administration, and each participant's adherence rate for their prescribed medications could be determined. A medication adherence survey and a patient usability and acceptability survey were administered to all the participants of the study.
resultsThe eDosette was able to record a participant's medication use and transmit this data electronically via the Internet with sufficient quality to create participant-specific MARs. A total of 418 doses were captured by the eDosette throughout the study; only 5% (
conclusionsThe eDosette is a feasible and novel technology that can be successfully installed into the homes of community-dwelling seniors to help in monitoring actual medication use patterns. This study provided details for further device development and evidence to support the need for a larger pilot study on the eDosette's impact on medication adherence.
