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

backgroundNonmedical prescription is recognized in several countries as an excellent strategy in facing emerging demands that put a strain on the health system. It is a practice carried out by professionals who are not doctors and who, after obtaining specific qualifications and legal authorization, can prescribe medication and curatives. In Brazil, although there is already a legal subsidy for prescription in some professions, it is still an underdeveloped activity with few studies.

objectiveThis study aimed to describe the conceptual aspects and state of the art of this type of prescription in Brazil.

methodsIt is a narrative review of the literature that included national and international regulations related to the subject, as well as available articles, published in electronic journals in different databases. Key terms used were nonmedical prescription, nursing prescription, and pharmaceutical prescription.

resultsIt was evidenced that nonmedical prescription has ample potential for improving the quality of care and the health conditions of patients. One can highlight as positive results the improvement of work satisfaction and self-confidence of those who have developed this practice; improvement of teamwork reported by other professionals due to the reduction of work overload; greater patient satisfaction in relation to access; and care provided by prescribers.

conclusionsIt is understood that there are many challenges for the consolidation of this activity in Brazil and that its success depends on a joint effort of health and educational institutions, health professionals, and patients.
