Antimicrobial stewardship interventions involving community pharmacy teams: a scoping review.
Review in JAC-antimicrobial resistance, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: The importance of involvement of community pharmacy (CP) teams in antimicrobial stewardship (AMS)-related interventions is justified by the high prevalence of antimicrobial prescribing in primary care. Yet, CP teams are rarely considered as part of AMS activities. Aim: To synthesize the available evidence in relation to the current involvement of community pharmacists in AMS-related interventions involving CP team members. Methods: To ensure rigour, the search followed the recommendations of the PRISMA-ScR and the protocol registered with the Open Science Framework. The search was conducted in MEDLINE, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts and CINAHL, identifying studies published between 1999 and 2023 and in English. Studies reporting AMS-related interventions, including at least one CP team member and conducted in a CP setting were included. Study selection and data extraction were performed by two independent reviewers. Results: Thirty-eight reports were included with pharmacists mainly using patient interviews ( Conclusions: The review is significant since it highlights CP interventions in an area where there is not much evidence. It emphasizes the need to remunerate CPs for their involvement in AMS while highlighting the potential for expansion of easily accessible CP services.
