Prescribing Pattern of Proton Pump Inhibitors in Qatar Rehabilitation Institute: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Journal of research in pharmacy practice. 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
objectiveProton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are still widely used despite increasing reports of their adverse events. This drug use evaluation study was conducted to assess the prescribing pattern of PPIs for patients admitted to the Qatar Rehabilitation Institute (QRI).
methodsAn observational, retrospective, patients' chart-based study included all patients who received a PPI in QRI between April 1, 2017, and October 1, 2017. A standardized tool was prepared and reviewed by the involved clinical pharmacists to collect appropriate data for the evaluation. Statistical analysis was performed using the 25
findingsA total of 119 patients received PPIs during the audit period, of which esomeprazole was the most frequently prescribed (34%). Majority of the patients (94%) were started on PPI without further investigations for confirming the indication, and the indication was not documented in 78% of the participants. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were the most commonly co-prescribed medications with PPIs (59%). Pantoprazole was co-prescribed with clopidogrel in 42% of the patients.
conclusionThis drug utilization study shows the need for a proper prescribing practice considering a clear indication and recommendations about the duration of therapy and the need for reassessment in QRI.
