Integrated Internet-Based Pharmaceutical Care and Its Association with Clinical Outcomes and Medication Adherence in Older Adults with Multimorbidity: A Prospective Observational Study.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To compare clinical outcomes, quality of life (QoL), medication behaviors, and readmission risk between older adults with multimorbidity receiving integrated Internet-based pharmaceutical care and those receiving conventional pharmaceutical care. Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled 196 older adults with multimorbidity who received either conventional or integrated Internet-based pharmaceutical care according to the service model in routine practice. After 6 months, BG and BP control rates, hospitalization rates, and patient satisfaction were compared. Frailty, health-related quality of life, medication self-management, and adherence were assessed using the FRAIL scale, EQ-5D/EQ-VAS, SEAMS, and ARMS-12, respectively. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between care model and 12-month readmission. Results: At the 6-month follow-up, the integrated Internet-based pharmaceutical care group had significantly higher BG and BP control rates and patient satisfaction than the conventional care group (P < 0.05). The integrated Internet-based care group also had lower FRAIL scores and higher EQ-5D and EQ-VAS scores. SEAMS scores were significantly higher, and ARMS scores were significantly lower in the Internet-based care group (P < 0.001). The integrated Internet-based pharmaceutical care model was significantly associated with a lower risk of 12-month readmission (OR = 0.424, 95% CI: 0.203-0.884, P = 0.022). Conclusion: Integrated Internet-based pharmaceutical care was associated with favorable medication-related and clinical outcomes in older adults with multimorbidity. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and clarify their generalizability.
