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.

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
Non-communicable diseases are increasing, but detection and control are inadequate. Active involvement of community pharmacies in their management can improve the situation. This is an exploratory study to unearth the perceptions and expectations of customers of services offered by community pharmacies. A cross-sectional study was conducted in two regions of Ghana. A total of 535 clients participated. Counseling was the most patronized (71.0%) service with medication review (38.5%) being the least. The most readily available service was sale of prescription medications (63.7%). Proximity (72.1%) was the most influential factor for selecting a pharmacy to visit. Clients perceived the dispensing of medications (64.3%) as the principal role of the pharmacists. The presence of a pharmacist and good and quick customer service were of statistical significance to customer satisfaction. Customers visited facilities mostly for blood pressure monitoring and to refill their medications, and counseling was the most patronized service. These call for planning multifaceted approaches to improve the care of patients with chronic disease.
