1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveWashington State established a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and operational plan in 2012 to coordinate pharmacy infrastructure and workforce during a public health emergency. The objectives of this study were to adapt the MOU operational plan to the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and assess community pharmacies' organizational readiness to implement COVID-19 testing and vaccination.

methodsThis mixed methods study was conducted June-August 2020. Three facilitated discussions were conducted with community pharmacists and local health jurisdiction (LHJ) representatives to test the MOU operational plan. Facilitated discussions were thematically analyzed to inform adaptations to the operational plan. Pharmacists were surveyed to assess their organization's readiness for COVID-19 testing and vaccination before and after the facilitated discussions using the Organizational Readiness for Implementing Change (ORIC) measure. Survey responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

resultsSix pharmacists from 5 community pharmacy organizations and 4 representatives from 2 LHJs participated in at least 1 facilitated discussion. Facilitated discussions resulted in 3 themes and 16 adaptations to the operational plan. Five of 6 community pharmacists (83% response rate) completed both surveys. Mean organizational readiness decreased from baseline to follow-up for COVID-19 testing and vaccination.

conclusionsOperational plan adaptations highlight opportunities to strengthen MOUs between local and state health departments and community pharmacies to support future emergency preparedness and readiness efforts.
