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
backgroundThe Acute Disease Quality Initiative advocates multidisciplinary care for the survivors of acute kidney injury (AKI). The bundled care strategy recognizes the role of pharmacists. However, their specific contributions in this context remain underexplored.
methodsThis retrospective study examined the efficacy of pharmacist-led post-AKI pharmaceutical care in outpatient settings at a single center. Adults with recent AKI during hospitalization, maintaining an estimated glomerular filtration rate <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 postdischarge, were enrolled in a multidisciplinary team care program from March 2022 to January 2023, with a 6-month follow-up period. Pharmacist-delivered care adhered to international multidisciplinary consensus guidelines. Efficacy was evaluated by analyzing medication-related recommendations, medication adherence, nephrotoxic drug utilization, and renoprotective medication usage before and after the intervention.
resultsA total of 40 patients were referred to the pharmacist-managed clinic. Of these, 33 patients (mean age, 63 ± 15 years; 60.6% male) attended the clinic. Nineteen patients completed follow-up visits. The pharmacist provided 14 medication-related recommendations to relevant physicians, with 10 of these recommendations (71.4%) being accepted. There was a significant decrease in the use of modifiable nephrotoxic drugs (p = 0.03). However, no significant improvements were noted in medication adherence or the utilization of renoprotective medications.
conclusionOur study underscores the potential benefits of pharmacist-led post-AKI bundled care strategy in outpatient settings. We observed a significant reduction in the utilization of modifiable nephrotoxic drugs, indicating the effectiveness of pharmacist interventions in optimizing medication regimens to mitigate renal harm.
