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
backgroundUnderstanding the factors that enhance professional efficacy is essential for optimizing job performance and satisfaction in a high-pressure pharmaceutical practice environment. Consequently, this study investigates the relationship between psychological resilience and professional efficacy among pharmacists, with rumination and emotional intelligence as potential mediating factors.
methodsWe employed a cross-sectional design and structural equation modeling to analyze data from a sample of 576 pharmacists conducted in the Punjab province between September 2023 and January 2024. Psychological resilience was assessed using the six-item Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), the ten-item Ruminative Response Scale (RRS) measured rumination, emotional intelligence was evaluated using the ten-item Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS), and professional efficacy was measured by the ten-item General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSS).
resultsOur results demonstrated that psychological resilience significantly enhances professional efficacy both directly (β = 0.396, p < 0.001) and indirectly through reducing rumination (β = -0.341, p < 0.001) and increasing emotional intelligence (β = 0.452, p < 0.001). However, a minor though significant chain mediation effect was observed, indicating that the combined influence of rumination and emotional intelligence contributes positively to professional efficacy (β = 0.028, p < 0.05).
conclusionThese findings highlight the practical significance of fostering psychological resilience and emotional intelligence in pharmacy practice to improve professional efficacy. Interventions focusing on reducing rumination and enhancing emotional intelligence could enhance pharmacists' job performance and well-being. Pharmacy organizations should consider implementing resilience-building programs and emotional intelligence training to create supportive work environments that optimize performance and satisfaction.
