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

Purpose: To explore the application of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) combined with pre-prescription review system in reducing the irrational rate of emergency prescriptions. Methods: The emergency prescriptions of our hospital in May 2022 to May 2023 and June 2023 to December 2024 were selected as the research objects. Based on the pre-prescription review system and LSS, a comparative analysis was carried out regarding the irrational rate of emergency prescriptions, the changing trend of the irrational rate, the types of irrational prescriptions and their departmental distribution, patients' satisfaction, and the proportion of doctors' returning and modifying irrational prescriptions before and after the implementation of intervention measures. Results: After the adoption of LSS and Review system, the irrational rate of emergency prescriptions was significantly reduced ( Conclusion: LSS combined with pre-prescription review system can effectively reduce the irrational rate of emergency prescriptions, optimize emergency medication management, and ensure patient medication safety.
