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

Background: Telepharmacy is becoming an inevitable trend in the field of pharmaceutical care, especially in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The use of telepharmacy systems in pharmaceutical consulting services has the potential to offer many benefits. However, a clear and comprehensive evaluation is necessary to ensure an optimal telepharmacy system. The study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of telepharmacy (www.telepharmacy.vn) in pharmaceutical consulting services for outpatients at Le Van Viet Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. The MAST (Model for Assessment of Telemedicine) model was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the telepharmacy system. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study evaluating the effectiveness of telepharmacy system (www.telepharmacy.vn) in pharmaceutical consulting services for outpatients at Le Van Viet Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, in 2024, using the MAST model. Results: The total number of participants was 51. According to the survey, 48 out of 51 patients (94.1%) reported satisfaction after consultation, with significant support from the hospital staff. Most of the evaluations on various aspects of the system according to the MAST model supported the application of this system in medication consultation activities at the hospital. Conclusion: The positive feedback has encouraged the hospital's administration to widely implement this new system to improve and enhance the quality of outpatient care services.
