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: Health information communication technology (ICT) has rapidly evolved in contemporary pharmacy practice worldwide. The Australian healthcare system is experiencing a paradigm shift to real-time interconnectivity for practitioners and consumers and interoperable digital health. With these developments come a need to evaluate use of technologies specifically in pharmacy practice to optimize their clinical functionality. There are no published frameworks for evaluating ICT needs or implementation in pharmacy practice. Objective: This paper proposes a theoretical framework for evaluating health ICT in pharmacy. Methods: Development of the evaluation framework was informed by a systematic scoping review and health informatics literature. Specifically, the framework drew upon critical appraisal and concept mapping of the TAM, ISS and HOT-fit validated models, with respect to health ICT in contemporary pharmacy practice. Results: The proposed model was named the Conclusions: This is the first published proposed evaluation framework developed for health ICT specifically in contemporary pharmacy practice. TEK represents a pragmatic way to ensure the development, refinement and implementation of new and existing technologies in contemporary pharmacy practice to keep pace with the clinical and professional requirements of community pharmacists. Operational, clinical and system outcomes should be evaluated as coexisting factors that may impact implementation. Validation research utilizing Design Science Research Methodology will enhance utility for end users and ensure the relevance and application of the TEK to contemporary pharmacy practice.
