Implementation priorities in Australian community pharmacy: A semi-structured survey of Australian pharmacists.

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: Australian community pharmacy is undergoing transformation, with pharmacists increasingly contributing to primary care and providing professional services. Implementation science offers structured approaches to support the scalable and sustainable delivery of healthcare. However, most Australian research to date has been exploratory in nature. Objective: To identify key factors influencing the implementation of professional services in Australian community pharmacies and develop a community pharmacist implementation importance scale (CPIIS). Methods: A semi-structured national survey was conducted among Australian community pharmacists, guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and Cochrane's twelve key implementation dimensions. Descriptive statistics summarised demographics and workplace practices. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) examined perceived importance of implementation elements, and correlation analyses explored associations with pharmacist and practice characteristics. Results: Data from 108 eligible respondents were analysed. Pharmacists reported delivering over 9000 services in the previous 14 days, with dose administration aids (67 %) and absence from work certificates (55 %) being most common. EFA identified two key dimensions: "Inner" and "Outer" contexts, with internal factors, such as staffing, workflow, and resource availability, rated as more important. Pharmacist experience was associated with a decrease in the perceived importance of the outer context. The model demonstrated good fit and internal consistency. Conclusions: Australian community pharmacists currently provide an extensive number and range of professional services. Internal operational factors are prioritised for service implementation. CPIIS offers a practical tool to evaluate the priorities of community pharmacists for implementation of professional services.
