Caring for communities: A 4-year pharmacy partnership focused on diabetes and cardiovascular health.
Article in Journal of managed care & specialty pharmacy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Current community pharmacy practice faces several substantial pressures affecting the business model. Transitioning to a more patient-centered focus and providing additional direct patient care services that will eventually be billed for and reimbursed by third-party payers is a strategy for evolving this practice. This manuscript describes the impact of a 4-year funded project involving a network of independent pharmacies partnering with an academic pharmacy school to implement direct patient care services in diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Eleven independent pharmacies participated in the practice transformation project, receiving direct support from pharmacy faculty to build an infrastructure and begin offering formalized programs for diabetes and cardiovascular disease management. Each pharmacy selected which services they would implement and build across the 4 years. An emphasis was placed on establishing bi-directional communication with medical provider offices and identifying high-risk patients with these disease states to set up monthly meetings to optimize their health. All pharmacies successfully established 1 or more services in the areas of diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease and reported regular communication with local providers to summarize services and discuss specific patient concerns. All pharmacies implemented a blood pressure monitoring service at their location and 9 (82%) successfully provided a self-monitoring blood pressure program. Five pharmacies received accreditation to offer diabetes self-management education services, and 2 pharmacies received recognition to provide the National Diabetes Prevention Program. Seven pharmacies established appointment-based monthly counseling with high-risk patients. Implementation of these services is an important initial step in prioritizing direct patient care in the community pharmacy setting.
