Knowledge and attitudes toward emergency contraception among pharmacy students and community pharmacists in Poland.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Emergency contraception (EC) remains a contentious issue shaped by ethical, legal, and cultural factors. Pharmacists are often involved in counselling and dispensing EC, placing them at the intersection of ethical, legal, and professional responsibilities. This study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and predictors of EC-related opinions among community pharmacists and pharmacy students in Poland. Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted in 2025 among 157 pharmacists and 223 pharmacy students. It assessed EC knowledge and attitudes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, group comparisons, and logistic regression models to identify predictors of knowledge and attitudes. Results: Pharmacists scored higher on the Knowledge Index than students ( Conclusion: While pharmacists demonstrated higher factual knowledge, students expressed more permissive attitudes toward EC access. Both groups showed knowledge gaps and uncertainty about legal frameworks. The findings highlight the need for clearer ethical and legal guidance in pharmacy education and practice concerning reproductive health services.
