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

Arterial hypertension is a lifelong disease, which management is recognized as the most effective way to reduce cardiovascular mortality. Even though there is extensive evidence on the benefits of lifestyle modification and antihypertensive treatment, many patients with hypertension do not reach blood pressure targets. This paper aims to review the history of antihypertensive treatment of one patient and identify the drug related problems that occurred over the study period. In this case report, the patient's health record was studied, guidelines checked and a semi-structured interview conducted. Drug related problems were identified and possible pharmacist interventions were introduced. Drug related problems that could have contributed to the lack of hypertension control were adherence, side effects and disease-drug interaction. Identified pharmacists' interventions ranged from managing self-medication, to collaboration with general practitioner to change prescribing, and counselling the patient on medication use, including adherence. Even though the drug related problems were not that serious in the studied case, the patient could have valued from pharmacist intervention.
