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
This study examined the impact of a structured educational intervention on professional competencies in individualized photoprotection counselling and on personal sun-safe behaviors. A quasi-experimental pre–post study was conducted among community pharmacists in Seville, Spain, in 2024. The intervention consisted of a blended educational program comprising an online training course delivered by a multidisciplinary faculty and a one-day practical session. Professional counselling practices were assessed using the Counselling Habits in Individualized Photoprotection questionnaire, while personal habits, attitudes, and knowledge related to photoprotection were evaluated using the Habits, Attitudes, and Knowledge in Photoprotection questionnaire. Data were collected at baseline and after completion of the intervention, and analyses included descriptive and comparative pre–post statistics, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. A total of 116 pharmacists completed the baseline professional assessment and 80 the post-intervention, while 125 and 85 pharmacists completed the personal behavior questionnaire, respectively. Professional competencies improved significantly, including identification of skin cancer risk factors (45.2% to 72.2%), promotion of skin self-examination (31.6% to 65.8%), and adaptation of counselling to occupational sun exposure (p < 0.001). Knowledge scores increased from 6.03 to 7.07 (p < 0.001). Personal sun-safe behaviors also improved, including sunscreen use, regular reapplication, and reduced sunburn frequency. Knowledge of early skin cancer detection criteria increased markedly (ABCDE rule: 61.5% to 100%; ugly duckling sign: 27.9% to 98.8%; p < 0.001). The FarmaSoludable educational program improved professional competencies and personal preventive behaviors, supporting pharmacists’ roles as behavioral role models and educators for community knowledge transfer.
