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 Saskatchewan Medication Assessment Program (SMAP) is a publicly funded community pharmacy-based medication assessment service with limited previous evaluation. The purpose of this study was to explore community pharmacists' experiences with the SMAP.
methodsOnline, self-administered questionnaire that consisted of a combination of 53 Likert scale and free-text questions. All licensed pharmacists who were practising in a community pharmacy setting in Saskatchewan were eligible to participate.
resultsResponse rate was 20.3% (
conclusionsCommunity pharmacists in Saskatchewan were positive and confident about performing medication assessments, and most agreed that the SMAP is achieving all of the intended purposes. Respondents also identified several barriers to providing SMAP services, which have resulted in specific recommendations that should be addressed to improve the program.
