The Imperative of Involving Nurses When Reviewing Psychiatric Medication: a Qualitative Study of Implementing Physician-Led Medication Reviews for Psychiatric Outpatients With Diabetes.
Article in Basic & clinical pharmacology & toxicology, 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
backgroundWe previously found that implementing medication reviews by a physician specialised in clinical pharmacology at interdisciplinary conferences with prescribing physicians and nurses led to a relative reduction in the number of drugs and potentially inappropriate prescriptions (PIPs) in psychiatric outpatients with diabetes. Adhering to the framework of health technology assessments (HTAs) and to facilitate direct implementation, we subsequently demonstrated the intervention as cost neutral.
aimThis study aimed to identify contextual, organisational and interprofessional barriers and facilitators in implementing the intervention focusing on nurses' role at interdisciplinary conferences.
methodsWe conducted semi-structured interviews with available staff and four patients from the intervention group. We conducted a primary thematic analysis with HTA as a framework, while a secondary analysis situated the themes into a contextual understanding.
resultsInterdisciplinary dialogue tailors pharmacological recommendations to patients adhering to clinical pragmatism rather than generic prescription guidelines. It enables professional growth and reciprocal learning and levels out an inherent doctor-nurse hierarchy. However, when conferences were online or hybrid, nurses did not benefit to the same extent and had the feeling of being set aside.
conclusionInterdisciplinary medication reviews in psychiatry may improve the clinical relevance of pharmacological decision-making and level out an inherent physician-nurse hierarchy in psychiatry.
