What Are the Drug-Related Problems Still Faced by Patients in Daily Life?-A Qualitative Analysis at the Pharmacy Counter.
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 7 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
backgroundDrug-related problems (DRPs) affect many patients. Many activities in general practice, hospitals, and community pharmacies have been initiated to tackle DRPs. However, recent studies exploring what DRP patients are still facing in their daily lives are scarce.
methodsDanish pharmacy staff registered DRPs in prescription encounters to understand what DRPs patients are still experiencing in daily life. They noted short descriptions of what happened in the encounter that qualified the incident as a DRP. The descriptions were subjected to an inductive content analysis.
resultsA wide range of DRPs that impacted patients' daily lives practically and healthwise were identified. In total, eighteen percent of patients with prescriptions had a DRP. Three overall stages of DRPs were identified: challenges in receiving the medications, not knowing how or why to take the medications, and not experiencing satisfactory effects. Patients were emotionally affected by these problems.
conclusionsDRPs are still widespread in patients' daily lives and influence their well-being. The identified DRPs illustrated the complexity of obtaining medications to work as intended and demonstrate that health professionals must take even the basics of medication intake much more seriously.
