Pharmacists' Perceptions on Nutritional Counseling of Oral Nutritional Supplements in the Community Pharmacy: An Exploratory Qualitative Study.
Article in Pharmacy (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Malnutrition has important health impacts, especially in the elderly. Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are effective strategies to help balance the nutritional needs of malnourished persons. Multiple ONS are available at community pharmacies, enabling pharmacists to have the possibility to implement strategies for prevention and monitoring of malnourished patients. The aim of this study was to characterize the experience of community pharmacists with the counseling and follow-up of users of ONS. A sample of 19 pharmacists from 19 different community pharmacies were interviewed. Apart from dispensing ONS to support patients that are preparing for diagnostic tests, the most frequently mentioned clinical condition for ONS counseling was malnutrition and dysphagia. When pharmacists consider dispensing ONS, three themes emerge: patient care, related to counselling tailored ONS to each patient's needs; interprofessional collaboration, with a special focus in the collaboration with registered dietitians; and training and education on ONS, looking to improve their knowledge and skills in ONS counselling and follow-up. Future studies exploring new forms of interaction between pharmacists and dietitians in this context should be developed, aiming to determine the workflow of an interdisciplinary service addressing the needs of community dwelling malnourished patients.
