Feasibility of a pharmacist-facilitated medicines review intervention for community-dwelling Māori older adults.

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
Background: Pharmacist-facilitated medicines review services have been postulated as a way to address current inequities in health outcomes between Māori and non-Māori. These interventions have been shown internationally to improve the appropriate use of medicines but remain underutilised in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). By reviewing the literature and engaging with key stakeholders, we developed an intervention, which included collaborative goal-setting, education and medicines optimisation, for testing in a feasibility study. Objective: To determine the feasibility (recruitment, intervention delivery, and data collection methods) of a pharmacist-facilitated medicines review intervention for Māori older adults, and proposed intervention outcomes. Methods: This study was reported in accordance with the CONSORT 2010 statement: extension to randomised controlled pilot and feasibility trials and the Consolidated criteria for strengthening reporting of health research involving indigenous peoples: the CONSIDER statement. Participant eligibility criteria were: Māori; aged 55-plus; community-dwelling; enrolled in a general practice in Waitematā District Health Board (Auckland, NZ). Consented participants engaged in a medicines education component (participant and pharmacist) and an optional medicines optimisation component (participant, pharmacist and prescriber). Outcomes measures included: the feasibility of data collection tools and methods, time taken to conduct the intervention and research processes; medicines knowledge, medicines appropriateness and quality of life (QoL); pharmacist recommendations and prescriber acceptance rate. Results: Seventeen consented participants took part in the intervention from December 2019-March 2020 with the majority ( Conclusion: The feasibility testing of pharmacist-facilitated medicines review intervention developed for (and with) community-dwelling Māori older adults allows for intervention refinement and can be utilised for further studies relating to pharmacist services in primary care.
