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

Objectives: The study aimed to identify drug-related problems (DRPs) and risk factors associated with the emergence of DRPs in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included patients in the anesthesiology and reanimation ICU of a university-affiliated tertiary care hospital. DRPs identified by clinical pharmacists were classified using the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe Classification for DRPs version 9.1. The association between various patient-related factors, and having DRPs were evaluated. Results: In total, 222 patients were included in the study, 128 of which were male (57.7%). The number of DRPs was 388 in 135 patients (1.75 ± 2.47 DRPs per patient). The group in which at least 1 DRP was identified, the duration of hospitalization was longer than in the group in which no DRP was identified ( Conclusion: Clinical pharmacists can detect and treat DRPs quickly. Our analysis shows that clinical pharmacy services are needed in high-DRP wards like ICU.
