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 AND

objectivesDermatological oral antitumor therapeutics (OAT) are often interaction-prone and used in complex regimens. The pharmacological/pharmaceutical care program of the randomized AMBORA trial significantly improved medication safety with various OAT; however, dermato-oncological patients were not included. It was subsequently implemented into clinical routine, including dermato-oncology. We aimed to analyze medication errors and adherence in patients treated with any dermatological OAT. PATIENTS AND

methodsMedication errors were characterized, for example, according to their cause (PCNE V9.1). Adherence was assessed using the Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS

resultsIn 92 patients (81.5% melanoma), we detected 1.6 medication errors per patient and 61.6% involved the OAT. Thereof, 89.2% were resolved. Of 52 patients participating in the additional adherence monitoring, 48 were evaluable and reached a median DA of 95.0% and MARS-D score of 25/25. DA was higher in once- vs. twice-daily regimens (p = 0.0127).

conclusionsThe interprofessional AMBORA care program in dermato-oncology was associated with the resolution of a large proportion of medication errors and high adherence. Evidence-based medication management and patient counseling by clinical pharmacologists/pharmacists optimizes medication safety in dermato-oncological practice.
