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: Community pharmacists are increasingly recognised as accessible healthcare providers who can contribute to immunisation programmes and improve vaccine coverage. However, pharmacist-driven vaccination services remain underutilised in many Arabic-speaking countries, and factors influencing pharmacists' intention to provide these services are not fully understood. Objective: To translate, culturally adapt, validate, and evaluate the Pharmacist-Driven Vaccination Service Intention Model (PDV-SIM) among community pharmacists in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar and identify factors influencing their intention to provide pharmacist-driven vaccination services. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among community pharmacists practicing in Arabic-speaking countries between February 2024 and November 2024. The PDV-SIM was translated and culturally adapted using a forward-backward translation process. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were performed using EQS 6.4. Reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity were assessed using Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, average variance extracted, and the Fornell-Larcker criterion. Results: A total of 305 pharmacists participated. The measurement model demonstrated acceptable fit under robust estimation (CFI = 0.936, IFI = 0.937, NNFI = 0.918, RMSEA = 0.066). Reliability and convergent validity were satisfactory across all constructs. The structural model also showed acceptable fit (CFI = 0.934, IFI = 0.935, TLI = 0.918, RMSEA = 0.065). Personal development attitude was the strongest predictor of intention to provide pharmacist-driven vaccination services (β = 0.724, Conclusion: Professional development attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control significantly influenced pharmacists' intention to provide vaccination services. Strengthening training, professional support, and regulatory frameworks may facilitate implementation of pharmacist-driven vaccination services across Arabic-speaking countries.
