Medication Identification Device to Reduce Medication Errors in Nursing Homes: A Controlled Pilot Study.
Article in Journal of gerontological nursing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A controlled pilot study was performed to evaluate implementation of a medication identification device intended to reduce errors in nursing homes. Naïve observation was used for data collection of medication errors on an intervention unit using the device and a control unit, along with field notes describing observation details. Ten staff were observed administering medications to 70 residents over the study time-frame. Of the 9,099 medication administrations observed (
