Inter-rater agreement for detection of potentially inappropriate medication according to explicit and implicit STOPP criteria.
Article in British journal of clinical pharmacology, 2025. 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
The Screening Tool of Older Person's Prescriptions (STOPP) is used to detect potentially inappropriate medication. Version 2 includes 80 criteria, whereof two can be considered implicit as their detection primarily relies on the assessor's expertise: (A1) drugs without indication and (A2) drug treatment beyond recommended duration. To explore the inter-rater agreement for detection of explicit and implicit criteria, data on consecutive primary care patients from a previous study (n = 302, 65-99 years of age) were used, including independent assessments of the 78 explicit criteria (23 556 assessments) and the two implicit criteria (604 assessments) by two specialist physicians. Overall, 123 (0.5%) explicit and 10 (2%) implicit criteria were fulfilled according to both physicians. The positive agreement for a criterion being fulfilled was 56% for explicit and 16% for implicit criteria, with kappa values of 0.56 and 0.09. Discordant detection of furosemide and proton pump inhibitors was common using explicit and implicit criteria.
