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

backgroundTreating multiple myeloma is complex, and providing supportive care through an interdisciplinary approach is essential.

aimTo report and synthesize pharmacists' clinical activities and impact on the care of patients with multiple myeloma.

methodThis was a scoping review that followed the PRISMA-ScR reporting recommendations. A search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and LILACS from the inception of the database until January 10th, 2024. Papers that reported pharmacists' clinical activities in the care of patients with multiple myeloma were included. Descriptive Elements of Pharmacist Intervention Characterization Tool (DEPICT) version 2 was used to characterize the pharmacists' clinical activities. The results are presented as a narrative and tabular synthesis.

resultsA total of 2885 records were identified, 10 of which met the inclusion criteria. Pharmacists' clinical activities related to 'direct patient care' (n = 8) and 'medication counseling, education, and training' (n = 7) were the most cited. Most were provided for patients (n = 8), by one-on-one contact (n = 9), and through face-to-face communication method (n = 8), with patient counseling being the main action taken by pharmacists (n = 7). Materials that supported pharmacists' actions were cited in five studies. Integrating pharmacists into interdisciplinary teams led to improved process, clinical, humanistic, and economic outcomes.

conclusionThis scoping review emphasizes pharmacists' clinical activities in improving the care of patients with multiple myeloma. There is a need to develop studies with patient-reported outcomes and comprehensive reporting of pharmacists' clinical activities to ensure reproducibility and effective implementation in clinical practice.
