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

Medication analyses by ward pharmacists are an important measure of drug therapy safety (DTS). Medication-related problems (MRPs) are identified and resolved with the attending clinicians. However, staff resources for extended medication analyses and complete documentation are often limited. Until now, data required for the identification of risk patients and for an extended medication analysis often had to be collected from various parts of the institution's internal electronic medical record (EMR). This error-prone and time-consuming process is to be improved in the INTERPOLAR (INTERventional POLypharmacy-Drug interActions-Risks) project using an IT tool provided by the data integration centers (DIC).INTERPOLAR is a use case of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) that focuses on the topic of DTS. The planning phase took place in 2023, with routine implementation planned from 2024. DTS-relevant data from the EMR is to be presented and the documentation of MRPs in routine care is to be facilitated. The prospective multicenter, cluster-randomized INTERPOLAR‑1 study serves to evaluate the benefits of IT support in routine care. The aim is to show that more MRPs can be detected and resolved with the help of IT support. For this purpose, six normal wards will be selected at each of eight university hospitals, so that 48 clusters (with a total of at least 70,000 cases) are available for randomization.
