Pharmacist-Patient Communication in Prostate Cancer as a Strategy to Humanize Health Care: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundPharmacists require effective communication skills to enhance involvement in patient care. Nevertheless, there are few qualitative studies exploring "how" pharmacist-patient communication occurs and none targets patients with cancer.
objectiveTo describe the perceptions of outpatients with prostate cancer regarding the communication process during clinical pharmacy service in a community pharmacy.
methodsA qualitative study was performed from semistructured interviews with 10 patients. These interviews were audiotape-recorded and transcribed comprehensively, and the data were analyzed using content analysis. The validation of the categories and registration units was made by 2 independent authors and reviewed by a third author.
resultsThree categories were established from the content analysis (general perceptions of the pharmacist-patient communication, potentialities of effective communication, and points for improvement). Communication is a complex process and involves, in addition to information exchange, the sharing of thoughts, desires, and fears. Our findings hold that effective communication skills by pharmacist can help patients validate their concerns, develop a trusting patient-pharmacist relationship, address drug therapy problems, and lead to better health outcomes.
conclusionPharmacist-patient communication is an important strategy for humanized practice. This allows the pharmacist to see beyond an individual with health problems to a human being with particularized needs.
