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

objectiveThe health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge in the dispensing of outpatient hospital medication (OHM). Models of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) based on community pharmacy support (ARTCP) have proven to be successful. The aim was to evaluate the degree of satisfaction, acceptability and limitations of the implementation of ARTCP, in the context of a pandemic, in our environment.

methodsDescriptive cross-sectional study carried out in a Barcelona hospital, during the months of July-November 2020. A telephone survey was carried out via a questionnaire on the quality dimensions of the model (degree of satisfaction, acceptability) and associated inconveniences. Data collected: demographics, antiretroviral treatment (ART), concomitant medication, drug interactions (DDIs), CD4 lymphocyte count and plasma viraemia. Data analysis included descriptive statistics.

resultsA total of 533 (78.0%) HIV patients receiving ART were included. 71.9% (383/533) of these patients were very satisfied and 76.2% preferred attending the community pharmacy rather than the hospital. The mean satisfaction rating was 9.3 (DS: 1.4). The benefits reported were: 1) proximity to home (406: 76.1%); 2) lower risk of contagion of COVID-19 (318: 59.7%); 3) shorter waiting time (201: 37.1%); 4) time flexibility (104: 19.5%); 5) reduction of financial expenses (35: 6.57%). A total of 11 (2%) patients reported no benefit. Only 22.9% reported disadvantages associated with ARTCP: 1) lack of privacy (65: 12.2%); 2) lack of coordinationorganization (57: 10.7%).

conclusionsThe COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the provision of pharmaceutical care for HIV patients. The ARTPC model has proved efficient, with patients reporting a high degree of satisfaction.
