The value of pharmacists in general practice: perspectives of general practitioners-an exploratory interview study.
Article in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Background NHS England has recently invested on a large scale in the development of the role of pharmacists in general practice. Despite this initial funding, the perpetuation of pharmacists' roles ultimately relies on the funding and co-operation of GPs. Objective This study aimed to explore the perspectives of GPs with experience of fully funding a pharmacist in general practice, focussing on the value that GPs place on the role of the pharmacist. Setting General practice in the Midlands and East area of England. Method In-depth, face to face, semi-structured qualitative interviews were carried out with seven purposively sampled GPs. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed. Main outcome measure Main outcomes were defined themes in the data. Results GPs valued the medication expertise of the pharmacist, which enabled the pharmacists to unburden the GPs of workload. GPs also valued the capability of pharmacists to adapt their role to meet the changing needs of their individual practice. GPs supported the role of pharmacists in general practice but identified funding as a possible barrier to wider uptake of the role. Conclusion This study provides an initial insight into what GPs value in the role of pharmacists in general practice. It highlights the value of the medication-related expertise which pharmacists bring to the team. Heterogeneity in the role is necessary to meet the needs of individual practices. Sustained funding was identified as a possible barrier to wider implementation of the role.
