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
Objective: This pilot study evaluated the professional self-actualisation (PSA) of pharmacists in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) across various practice settings. Methods: Our study was conducted in the UAE from February to May 2024 and targeted pharmacists in hospitals, community pharmacies, industry, and academia. A PSA questionnaire was developed using validated instruments and expert input, and included items on professional fulfilment (PF), societal acceptance (SA), work environment (WE), autonomy and professional opportunities (APO), involvement in professional advocacy (IPA), and the impact of work on personal relationships (IWPR). Results: Sixty-eight responses were received from pharmacists working in the community, hospital, industry and academic sectors. No significant differences in self-actualisation were observed between genders. PF scores were consistent across age groups, and education level significantly impacted IPA scores, with MSc/PhD holders (mean = 3.6, SD = 0.7) scoring higher than Bachelor's degree holders (mean = 2.9, SD = 0.9; Conclusion: This study identified key factors affecting pharmacists' self-actualisation in the UAE, emphasising the importance of a supportive work environment, recognition, and professional development for job satisfaction. Despite limitations such as low sample size and underrepresentation of certain sectors, the findings provide a basis for future research and inform strategies to enhance work environments, policies, and pharmacists' professional satisfaction.
