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 Community pharmacy services play an important role in controlling some factors related to medicine use and patients can benefit from these services to improve the adherence and knowledge of their medications, besides to reduce medicine-related problems. Objective The aim of the REVISA project is to carry out a study on preliminary implementation of the medicines use review service in Spanish community pharmacies. Setting Sixty-four community pharmacies from all regions of Spain. Method A preliminary implementation, cross-sectional multicentre study was conducted using a convenience sample of voluntary community pharmacies. A structured interview enabled to pharmacists to obtain a better understanding of patient's medicines use. Main outcome measure Medicines use review-related time and cost, satisfaction and willingness to pay. Results A total of 495 patients were enrolled. The mean age of the patients was 66.1 years, with the majority females (56.4%) and a mean consumption of 5.7 medicines. A total of 2811 medicines were evaluated and 550 referral recommendations were made (29.8% to Primary Care). The mean time employed by the pharmacists in the medicines use review service was 52.8 min (medicines use review-related cost of €17.27). Most patients expressed a high level of satisfaction with this service (98.5%) and a willingness to pay for it (84%). Conclusion Medicines use review service in community pharmacies in Spain can be delivered, that it appears to be acceptable to patients and that most patients said they would be willing to pay for it. This service may offer an opportunity to promote inter-professional collaboration between pharmacists and general practitioners.
