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
Population's aging leads to a frequent usage of pharmaceutical medications to treat or control various ailments because of aging, increasing the probability of occurrence of problems related to its usage. The primary objective of this study was to conduct pharmaceutical interventions in elderly patients from San Luis - Riobamba, using surveys to identify the sociodemographic characteristics, diseases, and medicines usage. Once the problems related to pharmacological therapy were identified, pharmaceutical interventions were carried our prior the acceptance of each patient. The study had the participation of 422 elderly patients, with the prevalence of females (59.7%), aged between 60 and 70 years (45.5%); we identified that 82.5% of the elderly patients have diseases, finding that joint pain such as Arthritis/Osteoarthritis has the higher incidence (38.8%), and 50% of the surveyed people consume medication to treat the disease. 40.28% (n=170) of the participants conciliate the treatment review to identify any medication-related problem (MRP), finding interactions (21.2%) and adverse effects probability (21.2%), starting from the PRM identified, 170 pharmaceutical interventions were conducted, considering as priority (67.6%) the education on non-pharmacological measures. The pharmaceutical interventions done through the study benefited the elderly patients and will contribute to reduce the appearance of PRM.
