Evaluation of a clinical pharmacist consultation service for patients with infectious diseases in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European journal of hospital pharmacy : science and practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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: Since antibiotic resistance has become a global public health issue, a clinical pharmacist consultation service has been established in China. Objectives: To clarify the role of the clinical pharmacist consultation service in the management of infectious diseases (ID). Methods: Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Database, Vip Database and Wanfang Database were searched for studies meeting predefined inclusion criteria. The pooled acceptance rate of consultation (ARC) and effective rate of patients treated with the acceptance of pharmacists' suggestions (ERA) were then calculated. Results: Fifty studies (involving 8616 patients and 8828 consultations) from 17 different provinces in China were included. The pooled ARC and ERA were 93.13% (95% CI 90.62% to 95.00%) and 93.60% (95% CI 91.99% to 95.24%), respectively. Adopting pharmacists' suggestions can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with ID with a risk ratio of 2.08 (95% CI 1.41 to 3.06). Factors such as study time, characteristics of the research institution and patients have important influences on ARC. Conclusion: Prospective cohort studies with better methodology are needed, although a series of uncontrolled studies has shown that the service has excellent acceptance and improves the effectiveness of treatment for ID.
