1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAdequate medication reconciliation is related to patients' safety. Rural populations are at increased risk of adverse drug events due to errors in medication reconciliation and often receiving medical care across multiple health care entities and across long distances with separate electronic medical records.

methodsThis study examined the implementation of Medications at Transitions and Clinical Handoffs Toolkit (MATCH) in a rural primary care clinic and assessed the acceptability and feasibility of implementation.

interventionMATCH was developed as a workflow process intervention to improve medication reconciliation.

resultsFindings from MATCH implementation indicate that the process improved medication reconciliation workflow. A shared definition of current medications across providers and patients was essential.

conclusionsEmpowering patients and caregivers with tools and language to work with providers, particularly nurses, to conduct medication reconciliation during primary care clinic visits is key to improving patient medication reconciliation in rural settings.
