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

introductionCollaborative deprescribing of fall-risk-increasing medication by community pharmacists and family physicians can reduce falls in older adults. No such exists in Türkiye.

aimTo identify factors related to community pharmacists' intention (1) to provide collaborative deprescribing service for fall-risk medications in older adults, and (2) to discuss older adults' potential fall-risk medications with the family physician.

methodIn this cross-sectional study, a web-based survey was conducted between November 2023 and February 2024 among Turkish community pharmacists recruited using convenience sampling. The questionnaire included items at the respondent level (including a theory of planned behaviour-based questionnaire) and the vignette level (including factorial vignettes). The factors related to their intention to perform two behaviours were evaluated: (1) providing collaborative deprescribing service and (2) discussing older adults' potential fall-risk medications with the family physician. Multilevel linear mixed-effects models were used.

resultsBased on responses from 398 community pharmacists (response rate of 93.2%), the intention to provide collaborative deprescribing service was related to their knowledge test score, self-reported rate of older adults served in the community pharmacy (61-80% category), their scores of subjective norm, self-efficacy, and perceived behavioural control (p < 0.05). Community pharmacists' intention to discuss older adults' potential fall-risk medications with the family physician was related to being male, younger age, their experience on patient-centred services, their higher scores of subjective norm, self-efficacy, and perceived behavioural control, and lower scores of attitude (p < 0.05). At vignette level, both intentions were linked to having a history of falls and the number of patients waiting in the community pharmacy (p < 0.05).

conclusionA collaborative deprescribing service for fall-risk-increasing medications in older adults could be implemented by addressing key determinants of community pharmacists' intention at both respondent and vignette levels, including subjective norm, self-efficacy, perceived behavioural control, attitude, workload-related factors, and patient clinical history.
