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

backgroundFamily caregivers face many problems during administration of medications. Pharmacists are reliable and accessible healthcare providers in addressing family caregivers' medication related inquiries in primary care.

aimThis study aimed to evaluate the short-term outcome of a personalized theory-based pharmaceutical care service on the medication administration problems of family caregivers.

methodThis pre-post intervention study was carried out among family caregivers at a community pharmacy in Istanbul, Türkiye from May through December 2022. The service was developed by mapping problems using the Theoretical Domains Framework and selecting related behavioural change techniques. The primary outcome was the change in the scores on the Turkish version of the Family Caregiver Medication Administration Hassles Scale (FCMAHS-TR) from baseline to the one-month follow-up assessment. Secondary outcomes were their ability to read health related materials, care burden, and satisfaction.

resultsAmong family caregivers (n = 100), total score of FCMAHS-TR was significantly reduced after receiving theory based pharmaceutical care service (median [IQR] 23.0 [17.0-27.0] vs 17.0 [10.3-20.0]; p < 0.001). The proportion of family caregivers with high ability to read health related materials was significantly increased (34.0% vs 48.0%; p < 0.05) with non-significant change in the proportion of family caregiver with high burden (97.0% vs 94.0%; p > 0.05). Younger family caregivers had significantly higher scores on the Turkish version of Patient-Oriented Pharmacy Services Questionnaire (PSPSQ) 2.0 when compared with the older ones (≥ 65 y) (p < 0.05).

conclusionFamily caregivers' medication administration problems were reduced after receiving the theory based pharmaceutical care service. Long term impact and national implementation of this service should be assessed in the further studies.
