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

backgroundChinese older adults with chronic diseases often require long-term medication use. While medication safety education can improve health outcomes and mitigate risks, existing programs lack systematic and comprehensive frameworks. This study aimed to develop Delphi-based consensus content to enhance home-based medication safety education for this population.

methodsA two-round Delphi study was conducted from June to August 2022 with 16 experts in clinical medicine and pharmacy (87.50% holding senior professional titles). Expertise levels included four experts with >10 years, five with >20 years, and seven with >30 years of experience. Using the WHO's 5 Moments for Medication Safety framework, a three-part questionnaire was designed: (a) sociodemographics; (b) expert familiarity and importance ratings of indicators; (c) evaluation form for home-based medication safety education. Key metrics included response rates, expert authority coefficient (Cr), coefficient of variation (CV), and Kendall's W for consensus.

resultsResponse rates were 80.00% (Round 1) and 100% (Round 2), meeting validity thresholds. High expert authority was demonstrated (Cr: 0.917 and 0.933). Consensus improved across rounds (CV: 0.22 and 0.13; Kendall's

conclusionWe specially designed a content system for medication safety education for older adults. Future researchers could focus on implementing this content system to provide medication safety education for patients.
