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

Background The model of community pharmacy practice is changing remarkably not only in the West but also in developing countries, which has led retail pharmacies to transform into chain community pharmacies.

Objective This study aims to assess the expectations and experiences of consumers with services provided by chain community pharmacies in Lahore, Pakistan. Setting Four random chain community pharmacies. Methods A qualitative study design was employed and face-to-face, audio-recorded, interviews were conducted with 12 consumers attending 4 randomly selected chain community pharmacies. All interviews were transcribed verbatim and the interview data were analysed thematically using NVivo
