Contraceptives Knowledge and Perception: A Cross-Sectional Study Among Future Pharmacists in Jordan.
Article in Open access journal of contraception, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Unintended pregnancy has huge burdens on healthcare resources and society. Contraception is essential to reduce it, and pharmacists are usually the first healthcare providers who are asked for advice about contraceptives. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate future pharmacists' knowledge, awareness, and perceptions of contraceptive methods and assess the factors influencing their knowledge, awareness, and perceptions. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among senior pharmacy students at four universities. Data was collected over three months using a structured and validated questionnaire. Both inferential (Mann-Whitney Results: A total of 310 eligible participants completed the questionnaire, and more than half of them (N=172; 55.5%) were final-year students. The Mann-Whitney Conclusion: Final-year students had higher knowledge and were more aware of contraception than fourth-year students. Also, community pharmacy training was associated with better awareness about contraceptives. Therefore, future studies should explore the impact of incorporating more targeted contraceptive education into earlier years of pharmacy education to bridge the knowledge gap observed between final-year and fourth-year students. Additionally, research should also investigate the effectiveness of specific community pharmacy training modules on contraceptive awareness.
