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

introductionThe successful implementation of pharmacogenetics (PGx) in many developed countries has significantly enhanced personalized care and improved both clinical and financial outcomes. This study was designed to evaluate the current knowledge, prevailing attitudes, and perceived ability of pharmacists to actively participate in the integration of PGx into their practice settings.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among pharmacists in Yemen using convenience sampling. Data was collected through an online-based questionnaire using the Google Forms platform. Both descriptive and inferential analyses were employed.

resultsWith a total of 211 participants involved. Most participants held a bachelor's degree in pharmacy (45%, n = 95). Approximately 70% of respondents reported having between one and five years of experience in pharmacy practice. About three-quarters of pharmacists showed high knowledge score regarding PGx (74.4%; 95% CI: 68.47 - 80.34), with overall pharmacists' knowledge score had a median and IQR of 4( 3-5). The score of knowledge exhibited statistical significance in relation to participants' years of professional experience (p = 0.005). Overall, pharmacists expressed positive attitudes toward PGx. The top two challenges reported for the adoption of PGx in practice were "high cost" and "limited availability of tests". Additionally, about 70% agreed that they lacked knowledge about the specific PGx tests required.

conclusionPharmacists exhibit promising attitudes towards PGx. Nevertheless, there is a clear need to reinforce their foundational knowledge and enhance their confidence in the practical application of PGx principles. Effective integration of personalized medicine will necessitate collaborative efforts among key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Health, academic institutions, and professional pharmacy associations.
