Impact of pharmaceutical intervention on the management of insulin pens: a study in community pharmacy.
Article in Farmaceuticos comunitarios, 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
This study evaluates the impact of pharmaceutical intervention on the management of insulin pens in a community pharmacy in Valencia. A quasi-experimental pre-post design was carried out with 14 diabetic patients using the JH-SEFAC questionnaire on insulin pen handling. After the initial assessment, pharmacists corrected mistakes and provided training; the survey was repeated two months later. Results showed a significant improvement (15%) in patients' knowledge, with no gender differences. The most frequent errors involved pen storage, insulin flow verification, and injection technique. Findings confirm that insulin pens are complex medicines to use and that community pharmacists play a key role in enhancing patients' skills, leading to better glycemic control. Although limited by the small sample size, this pilot study supports the implementation of similar educational programs in community pharmacies.
