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.

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.

Abstract

introductionDrug-related problems (DRPs) associated with oral anticancer drugs are frequent and require a new healthcare organisation to manage them on an outpatient basis. The aim of this article is to present the study protocol of the Drug Related problems in Oncology Practice (DROP) randomised controlled trial (RCT), endorsed by the French Society for Oncology Pharmacy. The main objective of the DROP RCT is to measure the impact at 6 months of the DROP community/hospital pharmaceutical intervention programme, compared with usual treatment, on the mean number of DRP (ie, adverse effects, drug-drug interactions, medication errors) related to oral anticancer drugs in at-risk outpatients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The DROP protocol is a prospective, multicentre controlled clinical trial, with individual randomisation, comparing in parallel and in open, two groups of outpatients treated with oral anticancer drugs. The interventional group benefits from the DROP multidisciplinary intervention on oral anticancer treatment. The control group receives usual care. The primary outcome of the DROP RCT is the number of DRP due to oral anticancer drugs, per patient, identified between the inclusion of the patient and 6 months after inclusion ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Approval to conduct this study was obtained for all participating centres from an Ethics Committee ( TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03257969, recruitment started in June 2019. The current protocol version is V.9, 13 December 2023.
