Incorporation of Clinical Staff Pharmacists in the Emergency Department Sepsis Response at a Single Institution.

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: Sepsis is a medical emergency in which timely, appropriate antibiotic therapy improves patient outcomes. While the addition of emergency department (ED) pharmacists has been found to optimize timely antimicrobial therapy in patients with sepsis, the role of clinical staff pharmacists (CSPs) in the sepsis response has not been studied. Methods: We implemented a process of incorporating CSPs in sepsis antimicrobial management in the ED. To evaluate the accuracy of antimicrobial selection by CSPs with a sepsis antibiotic algorithm and vancomycin dosing nomogram, a retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with sepsis presenting to the ED from December 3, 2018 through March 31, 2020. Results: Of the 157 sepsis alerts included in this study, CSPs correctly used the antibiotic selection algorithm in 154 (98%) instances and the vancomycin dosing nomogram in 147 (94%) instances. Conclusions: A process incorporating CSPs into the ED sepsis response resulted in high rates of accuracy for antibiotic selection and vancomycin dosing.
