Public Perceptions, Expectations, and Views of Community Pharmacy Practice in Kuwait.
Article in Medical principles and practice : international journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis study was designed to determine public patterns for use of community pharmacies, perceptions of pharmacists, confidence and trust in pharmacists, and expectations about the pharmacist's roles, and to explore the public views and satisfaction with the current pharmacy services. SUBJECTS AND
methodsA descriptive, cross-sectional survey was performed using a pretested self-administered questionnaire on a sample of 481 individuals selected using a 2-stage stratified cluster sampling design. Descriptive and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used for data analysis. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsThe most common reasons for visiting a pharmacy were to purchase medications (prescription: n = 338 [78.1%] and nonprescription: n = 296 [68.4%]). Of the 433 respondents, 87 believed that pharmacists had a good balance between health and business matters; regarding any drug-related problem, 229 (52.9%) identified the physician as the first person to contact, followed by the pharmacist (n = 140; 32.3%); 255 (58.9%) agreed that they trust pharmacists, while 237 (54.8%) agreed that pharmacists have the ability to answer drug- or disease-related questions. Of the 433 respondents, 236 (54.5%) did not expect the pharmacist's role to include monitoring health progress to ensure safe and effective use of medications, and 258 (59.6%) were satisfied with the current pharmacy services.
conclusionThe current study indicated that respondents had overall negative perceptions of community pharmacists, expressed moderate expectations of their role, and viewed the current pharmacy services as slightly positive. These findings highlight the need for designing multifaceted interventions targeting specific areas to advance the community pharmacy practice in Kuwait.
