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

introductionIn their practice, pharmacists are confronted with situations that may pose ethical problems. They must make decisions based on scientific knowledge as well as the principles of bioethics.

aimTo evaluate pharmacists' attitudes towards specific ethical dilemmas.

methodsWe conducted our study using a validated English questionnaire, containing 9 ethical scenarios to be rated by participants on a 5-point Likert scale. The questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms on Facebook pages and Messenger and WhatsApp groups. The data were processed with Microsoft Excel and statistical tests were performed using SPSS version 23.

resultsThe participants in our study achieved 70% of the total score for all encountered situations. We found that in response to the non-maleficence scenario of "Dispensing amphetamines to a medical student," pharmacists exhibited the most ethical attitude compared to other studied situations. In general, confidentiality scenarios received the highest number of "disagree" responses, while the least ethical attitude concerned justice scenarios. We also found a significant correlation between supplementary ethics training and the dimensions of confidentiality and non-maleficence .

conclusionOur study, the first of its kind in Tunisia, highlighted the need to strengthen medical ethics training for pharmacists.
