The effect of clinical pharmacists' intervention in adverse drug reaction reporting: a retrospective analysis with a 9-year interrupted time series.
Article in BMC health services research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn China, 85.4% of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are spontaneously reported by healthcare facilities. As a result, many ADRs are not reported due to lack of mandatory reporting requirements. As healthcare professionals, clinical pharmacists (CPhs) serve as a bridge between clinical work and medication and ensure rational drug use. In China, A team of CPhs implemented an intervention for ADRs reporting, with the goal of improving the number of ADRs reports, the number of unreported ADRs, and the standardized reporting rate.
methodsOn June 01, 2015, a team of CPhs implemented an intervention for ADRs reporting at a Grade A, Class 3 hospital in China. The drug review catalogue (DRC) was used to screen physician orders for having visible symptoms of ADRs across departments, pooled the ADRs, and submitted them to the Center for Advanced Drug Monitoring (CNCAM). We retrospectively analysed the effect of a CPhs ADRs reporting intervention on the number of clinical ADRs reports, the number of unreported ADRs, and the standardized reporting rate over a 9-year period by interrupted time series (ITS). The method was implemented at the hospital on June 1, 2015, and a segmented regression model was used to analyse the data from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2019.
resultsAfter the CPhs ADRs reporting intervention, the number of inpatient ADRs reports submitted to the CNCAM immediately increased by approximately 63 (62.658, P < 0.01) and then decreased by approximately 1 (0.701, P = 0.000151 < 0.01) per month afterward; the number of unreported ADRs was immediately reduced by approximately 44 (44.091, P < 0.01) and remained largely unchanged over time (P > 0.05); the standardized ADRs reporting rate per month immediately increased by 63.634% (P < 0.01) and remained largely unchanged over time (P > 0.05).
conclusionThe CPhs ADRs reporting intervention had an immediate effect on improving ADRs reporting, which highlights the severity of ADRs underreporting in Chinese hospitals. The method is practical and should be used more widely in clinical practice. For example, the method can adjust and establish a DRC catalog that meets the actual situation of the implementing hospital based on the hospital's drug use habits and has the characteristics of good adaptability. However, it does have some limitations; for example, it may be difficult to detect early ADRs without visible symptoms.
