Drug-related problems identified in patients attending primary healthcare centers in Jordan.
Observational study in Medicine, 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
Drug-related problems (DRPs) are important medication management issues that are associated with adverse health outcomes. Limited studies have assessed the frequency of DRPs in primary healthcare in Jordan. The present study aimed to apply an innovative approach to identify DRPs utilizing a pretested survey. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted to assess the presence of DRPs among attendees of several primary healthcare centers in Jordan. A pretested survey was used to identify DRPs in a user-friendly, simple way, and the identified DRPs were classified using the Hepler and Strand classification system. Factors associated with having a DRP were assessed using logistic regression analysis. The present study included 582 patients. Among the patients included, 59.4% had at least one DRP. The most frequently encountered DRPs were patient-reported ineffective medicine (28.7%) and non-adherence to medications (21.4%). Independent predictors of having a DRP were patients who attended the healthcare center for a routine checkup (odds ratio 2.112, P < .001) and those who were prescribed multivitamins (odds ratio 2.882, P = .044). Knowledge about medication indication for all medications was a protective predictor of having a DRP as opposed to no knowledge about the medication indication (odds ratio 0.134, P = .010). Our results highlighted that the use of this simple survey helped identify DRPs within the healthcare centers, and indeed, it documented the significance of the DRPs in primary healthcare centers, as such efforts are highly recommended for increased provision of pharmaceutical care interventions in this healthcare setting.
