Optimising patient safety using pharmaceutical intervention in domiciliary hospitalization.
Review in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction The domiciliary hospitalization unit (DHU) is an innovative model of care provision, where hospital care is transferred to the patients' home. However, this shift adds a care transition layer to the process, which may increase the probability of medication errors to occur. Method A pharmacist has been integrated into the DHU team to improve medication use. We developed an observational study documenting his intervention for 6 months. Information about the patient's drug therapy before admission, during hospitalization and after hospital discharge were gathered, enabling comparison of possible discrepancies that may happen during care transitions. The pharmacist evaluated the appropriateness, necessity, effectiveness, and safety of medication and intervened when deemed appropriate. Conclusions Data suggests that a pharmacist involved in the DHU may have a positive impact on medication use. Medication review and reconciliation are examples of pharmaceutical interventions that may lead to increased effectiveness and patient safety.
