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 and Aims: While pharmacists undoubtedly exert considerable influence over medication adherence and the patient experience with healthcare, a complex interplay of factors should also be considered, encompassing the sociodemographic characteristics of patients, the pharmacist-related factors, patient satisfaction, and the nature of the community pharmacy experience. This study aimed to assess the dynamics of these factors and examine their association with the adherence of patients to medications. Methods: An online cross-sectional study was undertaken from April 11 to April 27, 2023, to assess the association between community pharmacy-related experiences and patient medication adherence in a sample of 865 Lebanese adults using the Lebanese Medication Adherence Scale (LMAS-14). Results: Of all participants, 38.5% were regular visitors to the community pharmacy, and 57.7% visited the community pharmacy to obtain nonprescription medications. Almost half of the participants stated that the counseling time by the pharmacist is between 5 and 10 min (47.6%). The majority of the participants perceive the pharmacist as a medication expert (94.2%), a health counselor (81.0%), a health promoter (66.2%), and a practitioner who is patient-centered (73.3%). Older patient age (Beta = 0.08), always visiting the community pharmacy to obtain nonprescription medications (Beta = 3.63), having public health coverage (Beta = 2.37), and spending more than 10 min on counseling about a medication and/or medical condition (Beta = 3.10) were significantly associated with better medication adherence. Visiting a pharmacy to obtain chronic and nonprescription medications (Beta = -2.98) and having irregular health coverage (Beta = -2.60) were significantly associated with lower medication adherence. However, overall satisfaction with pharmacy experience was not associated with medication adherence ( Conclusion: Pharmacists are seen as experts in medication and holistic healthcare providers. Sociodemographic attributes and specific community pharmacy experience items influence medication adherence. While recognizing that the effects of age and health coverage can guide interventions, emphasizing the role of pharmacists, including extended counseling, could enhance medication adherence and, thus, health outcomes.
