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

Telepharmacy is receiving significant attention as an innovative approach. The objective of this study is to assess the needs and evaluate the impact of telepharmacy applications in drug consultations at Thu Duc City Hospital. We used a cross-sectional research design and conducted a survey with the participation of leaders of the Faculty of Pharmacy, clinical pharmacists, dispensing pharmacists, and patients or their caregivers who receive medication at the Pharmacy of Thu Duc Hospital. We deployed a telepharmacy application for consulting on drug use and surveyed the satisfaction of patients/family members with the telepharmacy model. 60.3% of survey subjects expressed a desire to receive drug use consultations through telepharmacy if the hospital were to offer this service. One hundred percent of the pharmacists at the pharmacy and the hospital's leadership believe that telepharmacy can address patient consultation needs and improve the current physical facilities in the dispensing area. Over 90% of telepharmacy users reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the service. Telepharmacy has garnered the attention of patients, their caregivers, and the medical staff at the Outpatient Pharmacy of Thu Duc Hospital. The majority of users are satisfied with the drug use consultation service provided by telepharmacy. By expanding the good results of Thu Duc Hospital to other hospitals, more patients across Vietnam can benefit from this innovative approach.
