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

backgroundThe prescription system known as RELE is the electronic prescribing and dispensing system that has been used by the Balearic Islands Health Service (IB-SALUT, Spain) since April 2006. This repository contains patients' computerised medication profiles (CMPs). Data from studies conducted in other settings have shown the existence of discrepancies between the medications recorded in patients' CMPs and the medications actually taken by the patients.

methodsChronic medications recorded in RELE CMPs were compared with those obtained through a structured clinical interview with patients or the persons responsible for the administration of the patients' medications. A descriptive analysis of each discrepancy was performed. Potentially associated factors were analysed using Pearson's χ

resultsOf the 215 CMPs studied, 168 (78%) had discrepancies. The rate of discrepancies in the general population inferred from these results ranged from 72.57% to 83.71%, with a 95% confidence level. Polypharmacy was associated with the presence of discrepancies (χ

conclusionThe rate of discrepancies identified in this study shows that clinical interviews with patients during transitions of care continue to be essential.
