1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows: (1) to summarize the current literature on the roles, responsibilities, and care activities of geriatric pharmacists in outpatient multidisciplinary management of frailty and geriatric syndromes; (2) to evaluate the impact of geriatric pharmacist involvement on medication-related outcomes, patient health outcomes, quality of life, and healthcare utilization; (3) to characterize the patient populations, healthcare settings, and multidisciplinary care models in which geriatric pharmacists are involved; and (4) to examine the resource implications and costs associated with integrating geriatric pharmacists into outpatient multidisciplinary care for frail older adults and those with geriatric syndromes. A comprehensive search will be conducted across MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Library, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, supplemented by backward and forward citation searching, grey literature sources, and expert consultation. Eligible studies include randomized and non-randomized controlled trials, cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, qualitative, mixed-methods, and descriptive studies involving community-dwelling or outpatient older adults aged 65 years and over with frailty and/or geriatric syndromes. Two reviewers will independently screen, extract data, and assess risk of bias using validated tools. Data synthesis will include narrative synthesis, thematic analysis for qualitative findings, and meta-analysis where appropriate using a random-effects model. The certainty of evidence will be assessed using the GRADE approach. This review is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024599685).
