Impact of Pharmacist-Driven Antiretroviral Stewardship and Transitions of Care Interventions on Persons With Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 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
backgroundPersons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) experience high rates of medication-related errors when admitted to the inpatient setting. Data are lacking on the impact of a combined antiretroviral (ARV) stewardship and transitions of care (TOC) program. We investigated the impact of a pharmacist-driven ARV stewardship and TOC program in persons with HIV.
methodsThis was a retrospective, quasi-experimental analysis evaluating the impact of an HIV-trained clinical pharmacist on hospitalized persons with HIV. Patients included in the study were adults following up, or planning to follow up, at the University of Illinois (UI) outpatient clinics for HIV care and admitted to the University of Illinois Hospital. Data were collected between July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 for the preimplementation phase and between July 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018 for the postimplementation phase. Primary and secondary endpoints included medication error rates related to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and opportunistic infection (OI) medications, all-cause readmission rates, medication access at time of hospital discharge, and linkage to care rates.
resultsA total of 128 patients were included in the study: 60 in the preimplementation phase and 68 in the postimplementation phase. After the implementation of this program, medication error rates associated with ART and OI medications decreased from 17% (10 of 60) to 6% (4 of 68) (
conclusionsA pharmacist-led ARV stewardship and TOC program improved overall care of persons with HIV through reduction in medication error rates, all-cause readmission rates, and an improvement in linkage to care rates.
