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: COVID-19 education for the pharmacy workforce is important to ensure pharmacists are optimizing patient care for the prevention and management of COVID-19. However, there are currently no reports to our knowledge of education and training experiences for COVID-19 prevention and management in the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) curricula. Objective: To evaluate pharmacy students' knowledge and confidence regarding COVID-19 prevention and management before and after an interactive didactic class (IDC). Methods: A multicenter, quasi-experimental, cross-sectional survey study was performed among pharmacy students before and after IDC on COVID-19 at two schools of pharmacy. The IDC on COVID-19 consisted of student-led presentations on a COVID-19 drug, an infectious disease pharmacist faculty-led interactive lecture on COVID-19 prevention and management, and clinical case vignettes to assess COVID-19 management strategies. An anonymous, voluntary, electronic survey was distributed to students ( Results: About 61 surveys were completed resulting in a response rate of 72%. COVID-19 knowledge scores (mean ± SD) increased overall following the IDC (5.9 ± 1.31 vs 8.6 ± 1.29). Pharmacy students' COVID-19 confidence scores (mean ± SD) also improved following the IDC (2.66 ± 0.75 vs 4.03 ± 0.53). Students performed well on the COVID-19 clinical case vignettes with a mean ± SD score of 22.41 ± 0.46 out of 25. Pharmacy students' perceptions of the IDC on COVID-19 were also positive overall. Conclusion: Pharmacy students' knowledge and confidence of COVID-19 prevention and management improved following an IDC. This may be an effective strategy to provide COVID-19 education during the PharmD curricula.
