Utilising an automated medication inventory management system for emergency crash carts during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The high acuity of patients with COVID-19 during the pandemic in the city of New York correlated with an increased incidence of cardiac arrests and other emergent resuscitation scenarios requiring life-sustaining treatment. A spike in the utilisation of emergency crash cart medications was to be expected. The department of pharmacy at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University optimised the use of an automated medication inventory management system with radio-frequency identification to assess usage and turnover of emergency crash carts; improve efficiency and turnaround times for crash cart dispatches; track drug consumption; and manage ongoing medication shortages during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. By capitalising on the utility and functionality of technology and automation, the institution was able to keep pace with acute patient care demands to prevent gaps in pharmaceutical care and medication management during emergency responses.
