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

Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare (JHAH) is a leading healthcare organization dedicated to revolutionizing healthcare practices in Saudi Arabia. This review article features the significant strides made by the JHAH ambulatory care pharmacy to symbolize Saudi Arabia's ambitious vision of healthcare transformation. This evolving journey includes details of JHAH's adoption of modern automation tools, several technological advancements, and establishing a pharmacist role far beyond dispensing medications. Moreover, it underscores the cultivation of patient-centered care initiatives like tele-pharmacy services through pharmacy call center, systematic patient satisfaction surveys, streamlined medication home delivery services, state-of-the-art medication drive-thru pick-up facility, the efficacious Q-Matic patient queue management architecture, and the establishment of discreet individual dispensing cubicles. Key focal points encompass technological enhancements, such as the incorporation of electronic health record Epic, cutting-edge pharmacy automation systems, and the patient-centric online portal MyChart®. The article also summarizes the multifaceted ambulatory care enhancements among clinical pharmacy services offered at JHAH. This includes a pharmacist-led medication management clinic, specialized anticoagulation clinic, psychiatric and hepatitis medication management, renal dose optimization, precision-driven thyroid and benign prostatic hyperplasia patients' treatment optimization, and clinical decision support system-backed clinical interventions. All these substantial enhancements at JHAH's ambulatory pharmacy have been made to improve the quality of pharmaceutical services. Besides automation and technological advancements, these also include the establishment of pharmacy competency and continuous education programs, the development of an internal pharmacy webpage on the JHAH website, the implementation of a mechanism for formulary management by the pharmacy and therapeutic committee, and very importantly the adoption of electronic incidence reporting system Datix. The review highlights JHAH's commitment to bringing ambulatory care pharmacy practice to new heights, thereby establishing a benchmark for patient-centric care and innovative excellence within the Saudi Arabian healthcare landscape.
