Feasibility of a comprehensive medication review to improve medication use for patients with cancer and comorbid conditions.

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
purposeA focus on oral medications for patients receiving care from both oncologists and primary care providers elicits an opportunity for improvement in patient outcomes. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the feasibility and appropriateness of a comprehensive medication review (CMR) by a primary care pharmacist in a population of patients with cancer and chronic conditions.
methodsAdult patients who received both cancer and primary care at Michigan Medicine, received active systemic cancer treatment, and had a comorbid condition of diabetes, hypertension, chronic heart failure, depression, and/or anxiety were eligible to receive a CMR by the primary care clinical pharmacist. Data collected included number eligible for the CMR (feasibility), patient demographics, medication-related problems (MRPs) and medication interventions (appropriate), number of patients requiring follow-up with the clinical pharmacist or physician, and pre/post-intervention changes in A1c and BP, as applicable.
resultsOf the 96 patients that met inclusion criteria, 55 patients (57%) received a CMR. Pharmacists provided 66 instances of patient education and identified 22 medication-related problems (MRPs) in 15 (27%) of patients. After CMRs were completed, 22 patients (40%) were referred to primary care pharmacists or physician providers for ongoing care.
conclusionA CMR was feasible and appropriate for patients with chronic conditions receiving treatment for cancer.
