1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo explore the influencing factors promoting the cancer pain management (CPM) behavior of pharmacists through the behavioral model and to provide a basis for formulating targeted intervention strategies.

methodThis study constitutes the third phase of a large‑scale cross‑sectional project carried out in medical institutions of all levels across different income regions of China. In the present phase, we combine the capability-opportunity-motivation (COM‑B) model with the theoretical domain framework (TDF). Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted on the collected data, and the influencing factors of pharmacists' CPM behavior were explored through the predictive model.

resultsA total of 1466 hospital pharmacists from 157 cities in China participated in the survey. Multivariate analysis in this study revealed no significant correlation between pharmacists' CPM behavior and the economic level of the city they work in or whether their institution has passed the GMP-ward review. Pharmacists' department, capability, and opportunity are positively associated with pharmacists' CPM behavior. The regression coefficients are 0.048 for department, 0.081 for capability, and 0.649 for opportunity, indicating their relative strengths in predicting CPM behavior. Among them, opportunity has the strongest predictive effect on pharmacists' CPM behavior.

conclusionResearch shows that pharmacists' department, capability, and opportunity are significantly positively correlated with CPM behavior and have a relative advantage in predicting behavior. This finding provides a basis for formulating measures to promote pharmacists' management of cancer pain.
