Impact of an educational training program on pharmacists' documentation practice at a teaching hospital.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThis study aims to determine the impact of an educational training program on the quantity and quality of the pharmacists' documentation practice at the Winchester District Memorial Hospital.
methodsThis study is a part of an evaluation for continuous quality improvement, performed applying a pre- and post-test model. The primary endpoint was the number of Pharmacists' Patient-Care Records in patient charts with the listed action codes. Charts of 80 patients were surveyed at three points (two months before and one and three months after the sessions) for 240 charts. Additionally, a pre- and post-educational questionnaire was administered using case scenarios and the Pharmacists' Patient-Care Record code system.
resultsThe number of charts containing Pharmacists' Patient-Care Records with Action Codes listed is 70%, 73%, and 64% in the first, second, and third chart review rounds, respectively. According to the pre- and post-educational session questionnaire, the average score per pharmacist is 47% and 73%, respectively.
conclusionThe initial estimate of the documentation practice is 50% or less, which is an underestimation. Furthermore, the quantity of pharmacists' documentation is not significantly affected by the educational sessions; however, the quality is improved.
