The perspectives of patients and physicians on the role of pharmacists in improving medication adherence in type 2 diabetes: a qualitative study.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundPharmacy practice has been expanded to include responsibility for the outcomes of medication therapy. However, in developing countries the pharmacist's role is still limited to dispensing medications. The aim of this study is to explore the perspectives of patients and physicians on the pharmacist's role in improving medication adherence in type 2 diabetes.
methodsData were collected via semi-structured interviews with patients and physicians. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis.
resultsA total of 40 patients and 21 physicians were interviewed. The interviews revealed different pharmacy-related issues that negatively affected patients' adherence, such as a lack of pharmacist counselling and inappropriate scheduling of refills. Various recommendations to improve adherence were emphasised such as dedicating some pharmacists to counselling patients and providing pharmacists with the appropriate training.
conclusionFrom the perspectives of patients and physicians, the pharmacist's role in the management of type 2 diabetes is still limited to dispensing medications. In order to improve medication adherence and consequently patient outcomes, policy-makers need to be aware of the importance of supporting pharmacists and providing them with the appropriate training.
