Determination of Potential Drug-Drug Interactions Using Various Software Programs in a Community Pharmacy Setting.
Article in Turkish journal of pharmaceutical sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectivesThe aim of the present study was to compare various software programs in detecting potential drug-drug interactions in a community pharmacy setting. MATERIALS AND
methodsDetails of prescriptions were collected from 50 community pharmacies located in İstanbul in March and April 2015 (two days per week). From each pharmacy, the first 20 prescriptions that included more than one drug were collected to evaluate potential drug-drug interactions. The following software programs were utilized to detect potential drug-drug interactions: micromedexsolutions.com, medscape.com, and drugs.com. The number of potential interactions detected by the software programs was determined.
resultsAt least one potential drug-drug interaction was detected in 39.2% of the 1000 prescriptions by one of the software programs. According to the rates of total drug-drug interactions gathered from various software programs, these programs gave the following results: medscape.com 33.3%, drugs.com 31.3%, and micromedexsolutions.com 21.2%.
conclusionAfter comparing different software programs, the potential drug-drug interactions found by the programs proved to be different. Therefore, we recommend that pharmacists confirm with a different program before making a decision when they detect clinically significant potential drug-drug interactions.
