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
Background: Previous non-clinical traditional role of pharmacy technicians (PTs) has evolved considerably. Therefore, adequate understanding of PTs' practice of pharmaceutical care (PC) services is essential for appropriate skill mix in provision of services. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to: (1) assess PTs' sources of information and practice of pharmaceutical care, and (2) assess differences in patient-centered care practices between PTs in hospital and community pharmacy settings. Methods: Cross-sectional survey was conducted among 100 pharmacy technicians using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was performed using SPSS version 24.0, and involvement in pharmaceutical care practices was assessed on a 3-point Likert scale. Results: A total of 73 (73.0%) PTs participated in the study and 44 (60.3%) practiced in hospitals. Almost all 70 (95.9%) had previously heard of PC. Sources of information was associated with place of practice ( Conclusions: Various sources of information was observed and this was associated with selected socio-demographics. Several PC activities were often undertaken by PTs, and some differences in practice of these activities was seen between the practice areas.
