Community pharmacists' attitudes, opinions and beliefs about leadership in the profession: An exploratory study.
Article in Canadian pharmacists journal : CPJ = Revue des pharmaciens du Canada : RPC. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundThe profession of pharmacy needs effective leaders to navigate change. Indirect indicators suggest there are insufficient numbers of pharmacists who actually want to be leaders. A paucity of research limits our understanding of what motivates and demotivates pharmacists to be leaders. This exploratory study was undertaken to investigate community pharmacists' attitudes, opinions and beliefs about leadership.
methodsInterviews with 38 pharmacists were conducted either in person or using telecommunication applications such as Skype. A semistructured interview guide was used to elicit comments about leadership in general and in pharmacy, perceived leadership roles and barriers/enablers to leadership. Data were analyzed using Chan and Drasgow's motivation-to-lead framework.
resultsKey barriers to assuming leadership roles included lack of education/support, inadequate compensation, concerns about work-life balance, time constraints and a generalized discontent about leadership in society and in the profession. DISCUSSION: While some of these barriers could be addressed through formal education (such as conflict management training) or through managerial influence (e.g., remuneration or scheduling to improve work-life balance), some (such as cynicism about leadership) will be more challenging to address. The need to address these barriers will grow as the need for new and emerging leaders in pharmacy continues to evolve.
