Impact of an Educational Intervention on Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting: A Comparative Study Among Pharmacy Students and Hospital Pharmacists in a Tertiary Care Setting.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAdverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a major contributor to preventable morbidity and healthcare burden worldwide. Effective pharmacovigilance systems depend on spontaneous reporting; however, underreporting remains a global challenge, particularly in developing countries such as India. Educational interventions have been shown to improve ADR reporting behavior among healthcare professionals.
objectiveTo evaluate knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) related to ADR reporting among Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) students, Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm.) students, and hospital pharmacists, and to assess the effectiveness of a structured educational workshop.
methodsA cross-sectional interventional study was conducted among 181 participants (62 Pharm.D. students, 111 B.Pharm. students, and eight hospital pharmacists) at a tertiary care hospital in Maharashtra. A prevalidated KAP questionnaire was administered before and after an educational workshop. A paired t-test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis (p<0.05 considered significant).
resultsA total of 181 participants were included, comprising Pharm.D. students (n=62), B.Pharm. students (n=111), and hospital pharmacists (n=8). Baseline knowledge was highest among Pharm.D. students (42/62, 67.7%), followed by hospital pharmacists (5/8, 62.5%) and B.Pharm students (57/111, 51.4%). Post-intervention, knowledge improved significantly across all groups (p < 0.05). Attitude scores also improved, particularly among hospital pharmacists from 5/8 (62.5%) to 7/8 (87.5%). ADR reporting practice increased from 12/62 (19.4%) to 41/62 (66.1%) in Pharm.D. students, 24/111 (21.6%) to 43/111 (38.7%) in B.Pharm. students, and 1/8 (12.5%) to 2/8 (25.0%) among hospital pharmacists. Overall, the intervention resulted in a significant improvement in KAP related to ADR reporting (chi-square test, p < 0.05).
conclusionStructured educational workshops significantly improve ADR reporting competence. Integration of pharmacovigilance training into pharmacy curricula and professional development programs is essential to strengthen patient safety frameworks.
