Assessing academic entitlement in pharmacy students: insights from Saudi Arabia.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Academic entitlement, characterized by students' expectations of academic rewards without proportional effort, has become an emerging concern in higher education, particularly in pharmacy programs. Understanding the demographic factors contributing to this phenomenon can help institutions design targeted interventions to mitigate its effects. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess Academic Entitlement (AE) its seven subscales, including Rewards for Effort, Accommodation, Responsibility Avoidance, Customer Orientation, Customer Service Expectation, and Grade Haggling among pharmacy students in Saudi Arabia. Also to assess association between AE and demographics including age, gender and GPA. Methods: A 17-item Academic Entitlement Questionnaire was distributed to pharmacy students through an online survey. The questionnaire, translated into Arabic using the back-translation method, was piloted for clarity before distribution. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics to assess the association between academic entitlement and key demographic variables. Results: A total of 267 pharmacy students enrolled in Pharm D program participated in the study. Statistical analysis revealed significant associations between academic entitlement and specific demographic factors: Age: A significant relationship was observed ( Conclusion: Academic entitlement among pharmacy students is influenced by demographic factors, with significant associations observed for age. These findings highlight the need for educational strategies that address entitlement behaviors, particularly among younger, to maintain academic rigor and professional accountability. Further research is needed to explore underlying causes and effective interventions.
