Article in Pharmacy (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
This is a concept analysis of the medication experience with a focus on how it applies to the pharmaceutical care practice framework used by pharmacist practitioners. The medication experience is a vital component of pharmaceutical care practice and of patient-centered care. Although the experience of taking medication has been studied across disciplines for decades, a concept analysis of the medication experience is lacking. Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis method was utilized. Ovid Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts and Google Scholar databases, references and hand searches were used to compile an international dataset of 66 papers published from 1982 to 2020. As a result of the available literature, the medication experience is defined as one of ambivalence and vulnerability in which the patient is actively engaged in an ongoing process or negotiation, which is pragmatic to the ways in which they live and experience life, contextualized and nuanced within the social construction of their individual realities. The concept of medication experience is an important addition to the scientific literature. The definition of medication experience from the perspective of the patient will help to better explain the concept for future research and theory development to move the discipline of pharmaceutical care practice forward.
