Deprescribing in Real Time: Hospitalized Septuagenarian With Polypharmacy.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Polypharmacy is a common and potentially preventable contributor to recurring emergency room visits, hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality. Its consequences are magnified in older adults due to the age-related decrease in functional and physiologic reserves, increased blood-brain barrier permeability, and altered drug metabolism, among others. In this article, we describe a case of polypharmacy in a septuagenarian to highlight the deprescribing approach implemented by the inpatient care team and to offer patient-centered insights to clinicians (primary care providers and hospitalists) when making deprescribing decisions. The overarching aim of this article is to build on existing literature regarding polypharmacy, prescribing cascades, and deprescribing in the context of what matters most and aligns with patient health priorities. This article highlights the importance of good geriatric medication reconciliation stewardship to avoid harm.
