Evaluation of a Structured Educational Program for Community Pharmacists' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Satisfaction Toward Diabetes Patient-Centered Care: A Non-Randomized Quasi-Experimental Study.

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
backgroundAlthough diabetes is a major public health concern worldwide, evidence on formal diabetes education programs for community pharmacists in Palestine remains limited, despite their important role as accessible healthcare providers.
objectivesTo evaluate immediate changes in community pharmacists' diabetes-related knowledge and attitudes toward patient-centered care following participation in a structured diabetes education program and to assess their satisfaction with the educational experience.
methodsThis non-randomized controlled pretest-posttest study enrolled 200 community pharmacists in the West Bank, Palestine. Knowledge and attitudes were assessed using modified versions of the Diabetes Knowledge Test and Diabetes Attitude Scale (DAS-3), respectively. Satisfaction with the educational experience was assessed after the educational period using an adapted questionnaire. General linear models provided adjusted post-intervention comparisons and between-group comparisons of pre-post changes.
resultsAt the pooled baseline knowledge mean, the adjusted post-intervention knowledge score was higher in the intervention group (adjusted mean difference = 6.73, 95% CI [6.13, 7.33],
conclusionParticipation in the structured educational program was associated with greater immediate knowledge gains and higher satisfaction than receipt of standard written materials. However, the adjusted between-group difference in attitude change was not statistically significant. The non-randomized design limits causal inference, and longer-term studies are needed to assess sustained educational benefits and changes in practice.
