Effect of Pharmacy Student Peer Supervision on the Accuracy of Admission Medication Reconciliation: Prospective Pre-Post Observational Study.
Observational study in JMIR human factors, 2026. 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
Background: Although medication reconciliation is known to reduce the frequency of medication errors, its practical implementation can be challenging in several respects. In our institution, pharmacy students perform medication reconciliations at admission under the supervision of a pharmacist or pharmacy resident. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of peer supervision (ie, the supervision by a pharmacy student of a medication reconciliation performed by another pharmacy student) on the accuracy and efficiency of admission medication reconciliations. Methods: A prospective, single-center, observational study was conducted in 2 clinical departments at Lille University Medical Center (Lille, France). Initially, organizational procedures were defined and a checklist for reconciliation supervision was developed. A baseline (reference) period without peer supervision was compared with an implementation period with peer supervision. Results: A total of 317 medication reconciliations were conducted: 102 (32.2%) without supervision and 215 (67.8%) with supervision by a pharmacy student. Peer supervision reduced the pharmacist time required for this task by 52%; the mean time decreased from 23 (SD 11) minutes to 11 (SD 6) minutes. Furthermore, peer supervision was associated with a decrease in the number of errors made by students (from 1.5 to 0.9 per reconciliation) and detected by pharmacists during reconciliation validation. Conclusions: Student peer validation appears to be an innovative, strategic method for optimizing medication reconciliations, freeing up pharmacist time, and leveraging the skills of pharmacy students.
