Medication reconciliation enhances the accuracy of gastric emptying scintigraphy.
Article in EJNMMI radiopharmacy and chemistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundGastroparesis (GP) is a prevalent sensorimotor disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction, posing significant diagnostic challenges. Gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) is the gold standard for diagnosing GP. However, its accuracy can be compromised by many medications that affect gastric motility. This study evaluates the impact of medication reconciliation on the diagnostic accuracy of GES.
resultsA significant proportion of patients (75%) were on medications known to affect gastric motility. Recommendations for medication adjustments were communicated, with 30% non-adherence. Adjustments in GES interpretations were necessary for 20% of patients following comprehensive medication reviews. The involvement of radiopharmacists facilitated accurate diagnostic conclusions, underscoring the critical role of medication reconciliation in GES accuracy.
conclusionMedication reconciliation enhanced the accuracy of GES in diagnosing gastroparesis, emphasizing the need to integrate clinical pharmacy practices into nuclear medicine. This interdisciplinary approach not only improves diagnostic accuracy but also enhances patient safety, advocating for the adoption of such practices in the management of gastroparesis.
