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: The rapid global development of the pharmacy profession has led pharmacists to enter the cosmetic industry by administering injectable dermal fillers (DFs) to those in need. However, there is no clear indication that the Lebanese pharmacists are familiar with these procedures or are willing to do so. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the Lebanese community pharmacists' knowledge about DFs and their willingness to administer them. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was sent to 461 randomly selected pharmacists who agreed to participate in the study after a phone call. A scoring system for the knowledge about DFs was employed. Results: Only 31.4 % of participants reported formal education as the source of knowledge about DFs, and 3.7 % of them reported practicing them on patients. The mean score of knowledge was 5.9 ± 2.5 (out of 14). High level of knowledge was observed in only 25 % of the participants, where females, older and experienced pharmacists, and those working in Beirut region were more significantly knowledgeable. Around 67 % of participants were willing to be trained in this field to expand their field of practice and improve their income. Conclusions: Lebanese community pharmacists are not yet ready for this new dimension in the career. Legislative procedures, training, licensing, and developed pharmacy curriculum must precede the practice of DFs by pharmacists in Lebanon.
