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: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) contribute significant clinical and economic burden to the country's healthcare system globally. Prompt reporting of ADRs by the community pharmacist is essential to the active pharmacovigilance program. Objectives: This study assesses private community pharmacists' knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) about ADRs and reporting. Design: A cross-sectional, qualitative study was performed using a pre-validated self-administered questionnaire. Methods: This self-administered questionnaire was conducted at community pharmacies between March and July 2022. The data collected were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests to examine the differences in overall KAP scores with a subgroup of sociodemographic characteristics of the study participants. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the predictors of practice. Results: In total, 156 fully completed questionnaires were collected by the community pharmacists. A positive association between the designation, qualification, and work experience with the total scores of the respondents was observed ( Conclusion: Though the study found sufficient understanding and favorable views on ADR reporting, participants reported poor practices and barriers to reporting ADR. Therefore, structured continuing professional development programs for community pharmacists are needed to overcome the barriers and enhance the practice of ADR reporting.
