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

purposeTo analyse the profile of consultations made using an electronic platform system (e-Interconsultation) of communication between the hospital pharmacy service and primary care pharmacy units.

methodDescriptive and retrospective analysis of the number and type of e-Interconsultations for 3 years in a health area. DATA SOURCE: data mining of the e-Interconsultation platform (Microsoft Sharepoint software).

resultsA total of 1152 interconsultations have been made and 90.6% (88.9%-92.4% 95% CI) solved. 477 (41.1%) of them were referrals from hospital care to primary care in addition to 675 (58.6%) from primary to hospital care. The validation of prescriptions and the need for drug monitoring in primary care are among the main reasons for consultation.

conclusionThis two-way electronic platform of communication is a good mechanism that collaborates in patients' transit between different healthcare levels because it allows us to facilitate, normalise and document consults, referrals and pharmaceutical interventions between hospital care and primary care. Therefore, it helps us provide better quality pharmaceutical care to our patients.
