Development of an Environmental Audit Tool for Hospital Pharmacy.
Article in The Canadian journal of hospital pharmacy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Health care contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, and pharmacy departments have many opportunities to reduce their emissions. Objective: To describe the development and implementation of an environmental audit tool for hospital pharmacy departments. Methods: A pharmacy environmental audit tool was developed by modifying a generic workplace audit tool to include pharmacy-specific content. The audit tool contained 22 categories, with scoring on a 4-point scale (from 0 to 3). Members of a volunteer committee completed the audit by observing practice areas. The lowest-scoring categories were then prioritized for action. Results: Overall, the 4 main pharmacy sites in Regina, Saskatchewan, scored 23/66 (35%). Areas of strength identified in the audit included reuse of packaging materials, carpooling, and paperless meetings. Areas for improvement prioritized by the committee included paper use, plastic use, and recycling. Conclusions: The pharmacy environmental audit tool described here can facilitate reflection on current practice, benchmarking, and goal setting. Pharmacy professionals have a role in leading change for the benefit of planetary health.
