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

Chronic wounds pose a public health challenge, with community pharmacists increasingly recognised for their potential role in wound care. Since all chronic wounds originate from acute wounds, pharmacists can play a proactive role in preventing chronicity. Assessing pharmacy staff's wound care knowledge is essential as initiatives to enhance their involvement are underway in Australia. This study aimed to assess wound care knowledge among pharmacists and non-pharmacist staff in Australian community pharmacies. A national cross-sectional electronic survey was conducted between January and August 2022. Developed with multidisciplinary experts, it assessed understanding of wound healing, referral protocols, wound identification, management, and dressing selection. Descriptive and content analyses were performed, and multivariate linear regression identified predictors of knowledge scores. Of 120 responses, 70% were pharmacists, 14% non-pharmacist staff, and 16% unspecified. The median knowledge score was 27 out of 37 (IQR = 21, 30; range = 5-37). Profession, experience, and prior training were significant predictors of higher scores (p < 0.001, R
