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

Little is known about pharmacists' preferences for services to improve medication adherence in patients with diabetes in Indonesia. Identification of such preferences can provide valuable insights on suitable services from a pharmacist's perspective. This study elicits pharmacists' preferences for services to improve medication adherence among their patients. A discrete choice experiment (DCE) method was used to survey pharmacists in all community health centres and three hospitals in Surabaya, Indonesia. Four attributes of consultation, namely duration of consultation, place of consultation, access to a pharmacist and patient copayment, and two attributes on additional services (educational and behavioural-based services) were included. The 16 profiles generated for DCE were partially balanced and partially without overlap. A random-effect logistic regression was used in the analysis. In total, 99 pharmacists completed the questionnaire, but only 80 were included in the study based on a consistency check. All attributes were found to determine preferences for a pharmacist service package. Pharmacists preferred a consultation with a shorter duration accompanied by flexible access to the pharmacist as well as a private consultation room and a lower patient copayment. Providing the patient with a brochure/leaflet was the most preferred additional service to help improve medication adherence. Patient group discussion and medication review were also preferred in combination with a consultation. Pharmacists' socio-demographic background characteristics influence preferences. These findings can be considered in evaluating current practice and designing pharmacist services to help improve medication adherence among patients with diabetes.
