Patient perceptions of their experience with comprehensive medication reviews: A framework for continued quality improvement.
Article in Journal of managed care & specialty pharmacy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundA comprehensive medication review (CMR) is an annual service offered to eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries as a component of the Medication Therapy Management program. However, little is known about the most meaningful aspect of CMRs from the patient's perspective. This information is necessary to help improve the service.
objectiveTo conduct concept elicitation interviews with patients who recently received a CMR to guide quality improvement efforts.
methodsThose who recently received a telephonic CMR were invited to participate in semistructured interviews to provide their insights on the CMR service. An interview guide was used and contained the following 6 key questions (with additional probing questions) exploring: (1) overall experience, (2) medication knowledge, (3) concerns, (4) management, (5) satisfaction, and (6) experience. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed thematically.
resultsInterviews were conducted with 42 patients and resulted in the identification of themes related to the CMR service that were most meaningful to patients. The resulting framework contained 3 themes related to the content of the CMR (eg, medication review), the characteristics of the pharmacy professional (eg, professionalism), and the interaction during the CMR (eg, the telephonic experience). Intrinsic patient factors (eg, prior experiences) were also identified as important to contextualize patients' experiences.
conclusionsThe framework provides concrete examples of the need for continued quality improvement of the CMR service and can be illustrated using the structure-process-outcome model. Patient perspectives should be accounted for in future quality improvement activities.
