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

backgroundData are scarce regarding the usefulness of a pharmaceutical therapy-related quality of life measure including the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure of Pharmaceutical Therapy for Quality of Life (PROMPT-QoL), for providing pharmaceutical care.

aimTo evaluate the impact of the PROMPT-QoL on identifying drug-related problems (DRPs), physicians' acceptance of pharmacist's recommendations on the DRP resolution, and clinical and quality of life outcomes.

methodA single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted at a tertiary public hospital in Thailand from October 2019 to May 2020. A total of 286 outpatients with chronic diseases were randomly allocated into the control group (provided with pharmaceutical care only) (N = 146) and the intervention group (provided with pharmaceutical care together with use of the PROMPT-QoL) (N = 140).

resultsA significantly higher mean number of DRPs could be identified in the intervention group than in the control group (p < 0.001). Moreover, there was a significantly higher proportion of physicians' acceptance of pharmacist's recommendations on the DRP resolution in the intervention than in the control group (p = 0.019). Regarding the clinical outcome, a significantly higher proportion of the DRP resolution was found in the intervention group than in the control group (p = 0.002). For quality of life outcomes, the intervention group yielded a significantly higher mean difference between posttest and pretest on the Medicine and Disease Information domain score of the PROMPT-QoL (p = 0.029) and the EuroQoL-Visual Analog Scale score (p = 0.031) than the control group.

conclusionThis study revealed that the application of the PROMPT-QoL together with pharmaceutical care favorably influenced identification of DRPs, physicians' acceptances, and clinical outcomes. Trial registration TCTR20201208005 on December 5, 2020.
