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

backgroundTobacco-focused medication therapy management (MTM) interventions executed in pharmacies located in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) may provide an innovative means to reach smokers with low incomes and reduce health disparities. However, greater understanding of the intervention's potential feasibility in this setting is needed.

objectiveTo inform the feasibility of implementing an MTM program to address tobacco and nicotine dependence in the FQHC setting by assessing the experience and perceptions of pharmacists working in pharmacies associated with FQHCs.

methodsA convergent mixed methods approach was used to assess indicators associated with the domains of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Pharmacists from FQHC-based pharmacies in the Southeast United States completed surveys (n = 24) and interviews (n = 15). Quantitative data were summarized descriptively. Qualitative data were content coded.

resultsQuantitative and qualitative data were mapped across all 5 CFIR domains. Pharmacists report high rates of tobacco and nicotine use among their patients and that addressing their use is important. A total of 62.5% of pharmacists had some or a great deal of experience with tobacco and nicotine dependence. Quantitative and qualitative data demonstrate that the pharmacists and their FQHCs would support MTM efforts focused on tobacco and nicotine dependence. Qualitative findings highlight that pharmacists view an MTM intervention as aligning with their current workflow. Quantitative and qualitative data highlight how factors related to pharmacists' engagement in introducing tobacco and nicotine dependence treatment programs to patients, the electronic medical record, time, staffing, and patient-level barriers could impact the feasibility of an MTM intervention focused on tobacco and nicotine dependence.

conclusionFindings suggest an MTM intervention focused on tobacco and nicotine dependence has the potential to be feasible within FQHC-based pharmacies. Considerations related to training, staffing, time, identifying participants, and supporting participant engagement must be taken into account to support its implementation.
