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

backgroundMedication safety as an indicator of care quality is the measures taken by healthcare team members to prevent or adjust adverse drug events at the time of medication administration. This study was conducted to investigate the medication safety climate from healthcare providers' perspectives. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in a selected educational hospital affiliated with the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran, in 2021. Participants were healthcare providers who are involved in the medication process. The sampling was done using the quota method. The study instruments were a demographic questionnaire and the Medication Safety Climate (MSC).

resultsThe total mean of positive responses to MSC items was 64.11%, denoting a moderate-level MSC. Collected data were managed using the SPSS software (v. 16.0) and were summarized using the measures of descriptive statistics, namely mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage. The lowest and the highest dimensional mean scores were related to the management support for medication safety dimension (mean: 48.42%) and the Teamwork dimension (mean: 80.43%), respectively.

conclusionManagers' inattention and insufficient understanding of safety provide the basis for medication errors and threaten patient safety. Healthcare team members are highly motivated to provide quality and safe care by observing the managers' positive performance regarding patient safety. To improve the medication safety climate, healthcare team members are required to work in a safe workplace and have sufficient job satisfaction. Health center managers need to employ a proactive approach to prevent errors.
