Pharmacist's Impact on Medication Adherence and Drug-Related Problems in Patients with Epilepsy.
Article in Turkish journal of pharmaceutical sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objectives: Drug-related problems (DRPs) and non-adherence are important barriers to ensuring optimal antiseizure drug treatment. The aim of this study was to improve medication adherence, detect and manage DRPs, and decrease the number of seizures with pharmacist-led education in patients with epilepsy. Materials and Methods: A prospective and interventional study was conducted in collaboration with the Department of Neurology, the rational drug usage unit of a hospital pharmacy in a university hospital. The impact of pharmacist-led education on medication adherence and interventions in the management of DRPs was assessed in patients with epilepsy who were admitted to the outpatient clinic. A total of 39 patients with epilepsy were evaluated in terms of medication adherence, DRPs, and seizure control over a 2-month follow-up period and patient satisfaction with pharmacy services at the end of the study. Results: A total of 59 DRPs were detected, and 71.2% of them were accepted and implemented both by physicians and/or patients. Pharmacist interventions solved 62.7% of DRPs. The number of patients with high-level medication adherence significantly increased from 17 to 28 after pharmacist-led education ( Conclusion: It is shown that the contribution of pharmacists in treating patients with epilepsy is beneficial in improving medication adherence, detection and management of DRPs, and decreasing the number of seizures.
