Factors associated with potential drug-drug interactions in psychiatric inpatients.
Article in European journal of hospital pharmacy : science and practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and severity of potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) in hospitalised patients with major psychiatric disorders and to identify factors associated with their occurrence.
methodsThe research was designed as an observational, cross-sectional study conducted at the Clinic for Mental Disorders (CMD) 'Dr. Laza Lazarevic', Belgrade, Serbia. Medscape, Epocrates and Lexicomp bases were used to detect potential drug interactions among inpatients. Multivariate regression analysis was used to reveal risk and protective factors associated with the number of pDDIs.
resultsThe study included 511 patients, average age 44.63±11.81 years. The average number of pDDIs per patient ranged from 5.9±4.7 (Medscape) to 8.2±5.4 (Epocrates) and 8.5±5.1 (Lexicomp). The following risk factors were identified by all three interaction checkers used: C-reactive protein, number of pharmacological subgroups, number of prescribed drugs, antibiotics, antacids, vitamins, number of associated comorbidities, route, form and dose of the drug.
conclusionsWhen making clinical decisions to reduce drug problems, including DDIs, one should consult several interaction databases, which should be reviewed by a multidisciplinary team consisting of an experienced clinical pharmacist, physician, nurse, and so on.
