The Effectiveness of Pharmacist Interventions in the Management of Patient with Renal Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The existing trials have focused on a variety of interventions to improve outcomes in renal failure; however, quantitative evidence comparing the effect of performing multidimensional interventions is scarce. The present paper reviews data from previous randomized controlled trials (RCTs), examining interventions performed for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and transplants by multidisciplinary teams, including pharmacists. Methods: A systematic search with quality assessment was performed using the revised Cochrane Collaboration's 'Risk of Bias' tool. Results and Conclusion: Thirty-three RCTs were included in the review, and the data from nineteen protocols were included in further quantitative analyses. A wide range of outcomes was considered, including those associated with progression of CKD, cardiovascular risk factors, patient adherence, quality of life, prescription of relevant medications, drug-related problems (DRPs), rate of hospitalizations, and death. The heterogeneity between studies was high. Despite low-to-moderate quality of evidence and relatively short follow-up, the findings suggest that multidimensional interventions, taken by pharmacists within multidisciplinary teams, are important for improving some clinical outcomes, such as blood pressure, risk of cardiovascular diseases and renal progression, and they improve non-adherence to medication among individuals with renal failure.
