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

Low adherence for denosumab (Dmab, Prolia®) is of major concern. Dutch pharmacies deliveries were calculated recently being 76.5% for a total of 3 injections.

introductionComparing a model where the prescriber maintains responsibility for adherence (model HC1) (Dmab is purchased and dispensed by patient's own community pharmacy and administered through a home care service (HC)) or an all-in-one model where the pharmacist maintains responsibility for the adherence (Dmab is purchased, dispensed, and administered by a pharmacist's HC) (HC2).

methodsWe counted the number of Dmab injections, follow-up appointments on time, Dmab administrations delayed to a maximum of 60 days, the number of Dmab discontinuations, and all causes legally traceable under EU privacy act (EDPR).

resultsHome care started by 2014 (study closure in 2021) and included 711 Dmab injections to 256 unique patients: HC1: 536 and HC2: 175 orders. The whole group received on average 2.8 Dmab injections by consistent intervals of about 182 days. Average administration after the latest Dmab injection: 272.8 days (HC1: 362.0 and HC2: 124.0 days). Administration of a subsequent injection > 60 days occurred in 26.6% (HC1: 38.8% and HC2: 6.2%; OR = 9.49). After adjustment for no more than three Dmab injections administered per patient, it occurred in 27.3% (HC1: 51.8% and HC2 4.4%; OR = 23.34).

conclusionIt was possible to achieve 94% adherence for Dmab injections treatment just by transferring the complete supply chain to one pharmacy-initiated home care provider after treatment initiation by either a physician or FLS health care professional.
