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: In Japan, pharmacists' role has drastically changed in recent years. However, previous studies have not performed internal marketing analysis for Japanese community pharmacists so that they improve the quality of work life (QWL) and be satisfied with it. Further, few studies are conducted on Japanese community pharmacists' QWL and its effect on the quality of pharmaceutical services. Objectives: This study aimed to reveal associations between community pharmacists' QWL and their subjective evaluations of pharmaceutical service. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 2027 pharmacists, with the cooperation of 20 corporations that run pharmacies. The collected data were subjected to multiple regression analysis, using SPSS 29. Results: Standard multiple regression shows that 27.4% of variance in pharmacists' subjective evaluations of their service was explained by QWL and other control variables, such as age, gender, and employee status ( Conclusion: This study shows that improving QWL, especially "mental and physical effects on work" and "pride in work," might contribute to improving community pharmacists' services.
