Quality Indicators for Drug Dispensing in Community Pharmacies: A Scoping Review Protocol.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionAssessing health service quality, particularly through indicators, is essential for improvement and accountability. However, the literature lacks a comprehensive analysis of how drug dispensing quality is measured.
objectiveThis scoping review protocol aims to identify the validated indicators used to assess the quality of drug dispensing in community pharmacies.
methodsA scoping review will follow the JBI Reviewer's Manual and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. An electronic search will be conducted in MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and LILACS, using search terms related to "quality indicators, health care", "dispensing" and "community pharmacies", along with their synonyms. Study selection and data extraction will be performed independently by two reviewers, disagreements will be resolved by a third. Findings will be synthesized narratively.
conclusionThis study will identify and critically analyze quality indicators for drug dispensing in community pharmacies, bridging fragmented practices with evidence-based standards to guide safer, more effective pharmaceutical care.
