Exploring the knowledge, attitude, and practice of community pharmacists regarding pediatric asthma management in Guangdong Province, China: a cross-sectional survey study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPediatric asthma is a common respiratory disease that significantly affects children's physical and mental health. This study aims to investigate community pharmacists' self-reported knowledge of asthma and explore their attitude and practice in providing pharmaceutical services to address the needs of pediatric asthma patients.
methodsAn online questionnaire informed by recent literature was distributed to community pharmacists in Guangdong Province, China via Qualtrics using convenience sampling and snowballing. Descriptive analysis and generalized multiple linear regression analysis were used for data analysis.
resultsOut of 579 community pharmacists who attempted this questionnaire, 473 completed it, giving a completion rate of 81.7%. Among the participants, 217 (45.9%) were female, and 319 (67.5%) aged between 31 and 50. The mean score of self-reported knowledge was 60.29 ± 6.16 out of 95 (range: 19-76); the mean score of attitude was 87.62 ± 8.37 out of 130 (range: 77-130); the mean score of practice was 18.72 ± 2.32 out of 30 (range: 6-24). Age, years of employment, highest education level, the average number of patients serving per day, and the average number of asthma patients serving per week were factors significantly associated with participants' self-reported knowledge, attitude, or practice toward pediatric asthma management (p < 0.05).
conclusionsMany community pharmacists felt they lacked sufficient knowledge about pediatric asthma and infrequently provided pharmaceutical services to children with asthma, despite having a positive attitude towards this professional role. To enhance the pharmaceutical care for pediatric asthma patients, it is essential to develop practice guidelines and care models, and provide education and training to community pharmacists accordingly.
