Pain Management in Patient-Facing Pharmacy Settings in Jordan: Pharmacists' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices.

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
backgroundCommunity pharmacists are well placed to support pain management, yet evidence on their knowledge, attitudes, and practices remains limited in some settings, including Jordan.
objectivesThis study examined pharmacists' knowledge, attitudes, practices, perceived barriers, and training needs related to pain management among pharmacists working in patient-facing pharmacy settings in Jordan.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 408 licensed pharmacists working in community and hospital pharmacies in Jordan. A structured, self-administered questionnaire assessed pain management knowledge, counseling practices, perceived competence, regulatory knowledge, barriers to practice, and training preferences. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were performed.
resultsPharmacists demonstrated generally good foundational knowledge and high levels of engagement in patient counseling. However, gaps were identified in pediatric pain perception, analgesic safety, and the integration of nonpharmacological approaches. Fear of dispensing opioids and uncertainty around controlled substance regulations were the commonly reported barriers. Counseling frequency was positively associated with both objectively assessed knowledge and self-rated knowledge, with perceived competence showing a stronger association.
conclusionsPharmacists in patient-facing pharmacy practice in Jordan play an active role in pain management but face gaps in applied clinical understanding and regulatory confidence. Practice-focused, guideline-based training may help strengthen pharmacists' contribution to chronic pain care.
