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

Background and Aims: This study aimed to assess the mental health literacy (MHL) of community pharmacists in Jordan and identify factors influencing stigma towards mental health disorders (MHDs). Methods: A cross sectional survey design was used among an adequate sample of community pharmacists in Jordan; a pre-designed questionnaire was shared using Google Forms via social media. A multi-section survey queried knowledge based upon MHL as well as measures of stigma (The Opening Minds Scale for Health Care Providers (OMS-HC-15) related to MHDs. Data were analyzed using SPSS® software, and linear regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with stigma toward MHDs. Results: A total of 268 pharmacists participated in the study. The median age was 28 years (IQR = 5.0), and 36.2% ( Conclusion: Community pharmacists in Jordan have expressed a desire to provide mental health care but experience challenges because of a lack of training and stigma. Enhancing the education of Community Pharmacists regarding mental health will allow them to take on a greater role in caring for patients with mental health needs.
