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
Background: This study aimed to assess the impact of a self-developed educational intervention on the knowledge, attitude, practice, barriers, and facilitators of pharmacovigilance (PV) among hospital pharmacists in Dubai. Method: Pharmacists from three hospitals attended an education intervention (PowerPoint presentation and hands-on session) on PV and were continuously followed up using WhatsApp for 6 months. The module's impact was assessed using a questionnaire at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-intervention. The median (IQR) scores of the individual Likert-type questions were compared with the demographic variables using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests, correlation using Spearman's test and Pearson's R (Interval by Interval) test, and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was used compare the pre-post scores at alpha = 0.05. Results: Of the 60 participants, upon intervention, the total knowledge scores improved from 14 (12-15)/18 at baseline to 17 (16-18) at 3 months, Conclusion: The study findings highlighted that educational intervention effectively enhances knowledge, attitude, and practice of pharmacovigilance among hospital pharmacists. Though the first of its kind this study outcome could have been influenced by external factors interfering with the outcome measures. Upon customisation, this module can be utilised by health professionals to improve pharmacovigilance practices in their settings.
