Deprescribing Inappropriate Proton Pump Inhibitors in a Family Medicine Residency Practice Office.
Article in PRiMER (Leawood, Kan.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06858384 (From Awareness to Action), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.

Abstract
introductionProton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are often prescribed beyond their medically-approved duration of use. Long-term PPI use has been linked with numerous adverse effects and contributes to polypharmacy. This study sought to understand the effect of evidence-based education to resident and faculty physicians on deprescribing inappropriate PPIs. We hypothesized that this educational intervention would result in fewer inappropriate PPI prescriptions.
methodsWe performed a chart review on all adult patients in a family medicine residency program practice, identifying those inappropriately taking PPIs. All physicians in the practice participated in an educational intervention regarding deprescribing inappropriate PPIs and were given frequent reminders to continue their deprescribing efforts. We reviewed charts at the end of the study to identify patients with successful deprescribing attempts.
resultsOf the 187 patients prescribed inappropriate PPIs in the study, 100 remained on PPIs at the end of the study (46.6% success rate). There was a significant decrease in the number of patients inappropriately prescribed PPIs by each physician over the course of the study, from a mean of 17.0 (beginning) to 9.1 (end).
conclusionPhysician education with reminders is an effective means of reducing the number of inappropriate PPIs prescribed in a family medicine residency practice. Future studies could investigate the effectiveness of educational interventions with other medication classes that are often prescribed inappropriately.
