An Underused Competence: Clinical Pharmacists' Experiences of Writing Referrals in Transitions of Care.
Article in Pharmacy (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Older people are at increased risk of medication-related problems, which may be identified by clinical pharmacists during hospital medication reviews. Some problems are better managed in primary care, where follow-up is possible. Medication-related communication by pharmacists may improve information transfer in care transitions, but this practice remains uncommon in Sweden. This qualitative study explored clinical pharmacists' experiences and perceptions of writing referrals to primary care. Data were collected through four focus groups and three supplementary interviews with 19 clinical pharmacists from hospitals and primary care, and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Eleven participants had experience writing referrals, although none did so regularly. Four categories emerged:
