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
backgroundCommunity pharmacists face challenges in job retention due to compensation, work-life balance, and career growth concerns. With pharmacists' evolving roles in healthcare, retaining them becomes crucial for maintaining quality service. Addressing their needs is vital for a skilled healthcare workforce. This study evaluates job retention among community pharmacists, considering various workforce management domains and demographic characteristics. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was employed with a self-administered questionnaire among community pharmacists in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Malaysia. Spearman's correlations and ordinal logistic regression analysed job retention relationships with workforce domains and predicted the demographic characteristics.
resultsA total of 414 participants attempted the survey, of which 311 completed the study. Strong correlations linked job retention with value, trust, and work-life balance. Female pharmacists had higher retention odds, while younger pharmacists had lower retention odds. Pharmacists with over 10 years of experience showed higher retention odds. DISCUSSION: 'Value and trust' and 'work-life balance' were pivotal for the job retention of community pharmacists. Strategies boosting value, trust, and work-life balance was vital. Gender, age, and experience also predicted job retention.
conclusionsCultivating trust, valuing contributions, and providing a work-life balance can enhance job retention and commitment.
