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: Patient perspectives and satisfaction serve as key indicators of pharmacy service quality. The Wasfaty electronic prescription system is a flagship service within Saudi Arabia's ongoing Vision 2030 healthcare reforms, designed to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and convenience for patients and providers. This study aims to assess middle-aged adults' perceptions and satisfaction with the Wasfaty system in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The secondary aim was to explore the association between satisfaction and various demographic factors. Methods: From February to April 2025, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among middle-aged adults attending selected community pharmacies in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, using a convenience sampling approach. The self-administered questionnaire included sections on demographics, health status, availability of Wasfaty services and medications, pharmacists' counseling practices, and overall satisfaction with the Wasfaty electronic prescription system. Data were analyzed with SPSS v27.0, using descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages) to summarize participant characteristics and response patterns. Logistic regression models yielded crude odds ratios (CORs) and adjusted odds ratios (AORs), each with 95% confidence intervals. Statistical significance was defined as Results: Of 400 respondents (response rate = 97%), 54.3% were male and 61% aged 40-49, with 63.3% reporting chronic conditions. Eighty percent expressed satisfaction with the Wasfaty system. Satisfaction was significantly linked to service proximity, pharmacists' guidance on proper medication use, and system efficiency. Men had significantly higher odds of positive views regarding pharmacists' counseling ( Conclusion: This study reveals high satisfaction levels among middle-aged users of Wasfaty in Tabuk. In this convenience sample survey, participants' satisfaction with the Wasfaty system was associated with perceptions of system efficiency, pharmacists' counseling, and service availability. These findings should be interpreted with caution, as the study design does not allow for strong causal inferences or generalization to the wider population.
