The Role of Clinical Pharmacist in Pediatrics' Adherence to Antiepileptic Drugs.
Article in The Journal of pharmacy technology : jPT : official publication of the Association of Pharmacy Technicians, 2022. 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
Background: Rate of nonadherence to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in children is about 33%. Engaging clinical pharmacists in the management of patients has proved to increase adherence to medications which will improve the outcomes of treatment. Objectives: To investigate the effect of a clinical pharmacist-led education on the adherence to AEDs in pediatric patients with epilepsy. Secondary outcomes include effectiveness and safety of AEDs, satisfaction with information about AEDs provided to the caregivers, and patients quality of life (QoL). Methods: This was an interventional study where pediatric patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 41) or the control (n = 40) group. A 30-minute clinical pharmacist-led educational interview to the parent/caregiver was provided to the first group as add-on to standard medical care received by latter. Outcomes were measured at baseline and after 8-week follow-up. Results: The intervention group had an increase in mean adherence score from 6 ± 1.09 at baseline to 7.6 ± 0.9 at follow-up ( Conclusion and relevance: Clinical pharmacist-led education had a positive outcome on pediatric patients with epilepsy with regard to adherence, effectiveness, safety, satisfaction with information about AEDs, and QoL.
