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

rationalePharmacists' clinical responsibilities have been on a progressive rise, adopting a more person-centered approach, and experiencing increased involvement in healthcare teams across all settings. The development and evolution of clinical pharmacy practice in each country depends on the existing facilitators and barriers, which are variable and highly context-related. AIMS AND

objectivesTo investigate the perspectives of global experts regarding the advancement of clinical pharmacy practice, with a specific focus on examining the factors contributing to success and their outlook on the future of clinical pharmacy.

methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with academia and practice experts from 13 countries. Each expert was asked what they considered to be the future of clinical pharmacy education and practice, as well as what should be improved in the clinical pharmacy learning path to ensure that it keeps pace with the evolution of pharmacists' clinical responsibilities in practice. Success factors for change in clinical pharmacy practice were also explored. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically.

resultsSuccess factors for advancing clinical pharmacy practice included elements related to the healthcare and political landscape, such as remuneration, leadership, as well as willingness and readiness for change. Other success factors identified are directly related to the pharmacist, such as the use of reflective practice or the pharmacist's motivation. Perceived future directions include the existence of a multidisciplinary approach in practice, the expansion of clinical pharmacy services, as well as the delivery of clinical pharmacy services at the primary care level.

conclusionThe development of clinical pharmacy practice relies on a wide range of factors. The analysis carried out in this study of the success factors as well as the potential future directions of clinical pharmacy can serve as catalysts for the development of this pharmacy field at the country, regional, and global levels.
