A Qualitative Assessment of Current Pharmacovigilance Education in Lebanese Pharmacy Schools.
Article in Medical science educator, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore faculty opinions and views regarding pharmacovigilance content in courses taught to pharmacy students in Lebanese universities.
methodsThis study identified faculty from all five universities providing pharmacy programs in Lebanon. Participants were identified through the universities' websites. After obtaining required consents, fourteen interviews were conducted and transcribed. All interviews followed a previously prepared and validated interview theme guide.
resultsFourteen professors participated in the study. Qualitative analysis revealed four themes with regard to participants' knowledge of the pharmacovigilance content and their students' competency in applying pharmacovigilance concepts in their practice. The emerged themes were identified as follows: limited pharmacovigilance content in current pharmacy schools' curricula, the need to include pharmacovigilance competencies in practical courses and experiential training, plans to strengthen the pharmacovigilance content in pharmacy schools, and the implication of providing adequate pharmacovigilance competencies on the success of the proposed national pharmacovigilance program in the country.
conclusionPharmacovigilance content in pharmacy programs is still inadequate. Our study participants believed that this limited content may overall undermine patient safety. It was thought that preparing pharmacy graduates to undertake pharmacovigilance tasks through providing early didactic teaching of pharmacovigilance concepts, integrating pharmacovigilance competencies into experiential training, providing graduate pharmacovigilance courses, and continuing professional education in topics of pharmacovigilance will improve the level of pharmacy professional practice and patient safety and encourage proper implantation of the national pharmacovigilance program in this country.
