Medical Students' and Internal Medicine Trainees' Knowledge of Drug Prescribing Recommendations in Older Patients with Impaired Kidney Function.
Article in Clinical interventions in aging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundNumerous medications used in older adults require dose modification or should be avoided in individuals with impaired kidney function. PURPOSE: To assess medical students' and physicians' knowledge of drug prescribing recommendations in older patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73m PATIENTS AND
methodsA survey comprising a list of 64 drugs conducted in 183 medical students (Students), and 138 post-graduate trainees in internal medicine (Physicians). The respondents were asked to classify each drug into one of three categories: 1) no renal precautions; 2) dose should be reduced; and 3) medication should be avoided.
resultsA range of 16.9-68.3% students and 14.5-81.2% physicians correctly classified drugs in the category "No renal precautions." Drugs requiring dose reduction were correctly classified by 6-67.2% students, and 24.6-85.5% physicians. For drugs that should be avoided in subjects with eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73m
conclusionMedical students and post-graduate trainees in internal medicine have poor knowledge of drug prescribing recommendations in older patients with renal impairment.
