Pharmaceutical interventions on prescriptions in Norwegian community and hospital pharmacies.
Article in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2021. 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 Pharmacists in community and hospital pharmacies assess prescriptions to prevent prescription errors and adverse drug events. There are, however, few reports on prevalence of clinical important pharmaceutical interventions for patients located within primary care. Objective To study documented pharmaceutical interventions on prescriptions in Norwegian pharmacies for patients located in primary care. Setting Data were collected in 11 community pharmacies during a 3 months period in 2016, and the outpatient department of four hospital pharmacies in Norway during a 6 months period of 2018. Method Retrospective analysis of electronically documented pharmaceutical interventions on prescriptions for patients located in primary care. Main outcome measure The number and classification of pharmaceutical interventions in relation to the total number of prescriptions. Results An intervention was documented in 124,178 (45.1%) of the 275,339 prescriptions dispensed during the study period. Interventions of potential clinical importance were performed and documented in 0.8% (2262) of the prescriptions. Conclusion A substantial number of pharmaceutical interventions are performed on prescriptions in Norwegian pharmacies after introduction of electronic prescriptions. A potentially clinical important intervention is performed in one of every 125 prescriptions (0.8%). This result indicates that pharmacists at Norwegian pharmacies prevent more than 400,000 prescription errors of potential clinical importance each year.
