Comprehensive Description of an Automated Drug Dispensing System Database.
Article in Pragmatic and observational research, 2025. 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
Medifilm is a company that blisters drug therapies recorded by pharmacists in the Medifilm software. The Medifilm dataset collates this information and provides details on drug substances, dosages, pharmacotherapy duration, the sequence of therapies, as well as demographic data on the patients. This article aims to provide an overview of the database, to describe the contents, and to demonstrate possibilities for researchers. The database and the recorded information were described. Furthermore, the data coverage was characterized in terms of the number of available pharmacies, patients, and their drug regimens. The database has been recording data since 2013 and has registered 470,801 blistered therapies for 45,594 patients ordered by 441 pharmacies so far. The longitudinal nature of the database allows researchers to study drug utilization, including medication changes, initiations, and discontinuations over time.
