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.

Abstract
Background: Medication reconciliation is a key responsibility of ward pharmacists, who work closely with doctors. However, little is known about doctors' practices in the administration of this service. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with doctors from the medical wards of 14 Perak government hospitals. A validated self-administered questionnaire was used to assess doctors' demographics, experiences with pharmacist-led medication reconciliation services (13 items) and practices in administering medication reconciliation-related information (8 items). Responses were measured on a 5-point Likert scale.This study explored doctors' experiences with and utilisation of medication reconciliation services provided by pharmacists in medical wards. The independent Results: A total of 209 doctors responded, with more than half of them being female (60.8%) and medical officers (76.6%). Most respondents agreed that ward pharmacists play an integral role (97.6%), perform quality reconciliation (97.2%), and reduce medication errors (97.1%) during medication reconciliation. The majority frequently expected the pharmacists to provide medication history assessments (90.0%), relied on their medication history assessments during prescribing at admission (88.6%) and discharge (89.0%), and collaborated on reconciliation issues (91.8%). Higher practice scores were observed among medical officers (3.89 ± 0.63, Conclusion: Doctors demonstrated positive experiences and practices regarding pharmacist-led medication reconciliation services provided by ward pharmacists. These findings suggest that doctors acknowledge the role of pharmacists in medication reconciliation services.
