An Audit on Pharmacists' Knowledge and Experience in Pediatric Care.
Article in The journal of pediatric pharmacology and therapeutics : JPPT : the official journal of PPAG, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine pharmacists' perceived knowledge and expertise required to deliver pharmaceutical care services to pediatric patients.
methodsOnce ethical approval was obtained, a questionnaire was posted on local pharmacy groups. The questionnaire is composed of 4 domains: 1) Demographics, 2) Perceived knowledge of pediatric treatment and dosing, 3) Real-life pediatric cases, and 4) Future aspirations to enhance pediatric pharmacy.
resultsA total of 200 questionnaires were completed and submitted online. Most participants (62.5%) practiced in a community setting. Most respondents (40%) reported that 41% to 60% of their patients were pediatrics. In general, respondents had a good perception of their knowledge and expertise to deliver pharmaceutical care services to pediatric patients. However, most respondents had a low knowledge score when faced with real-life pediatric cases. On a scale of 7 most respondents obtained the score of 2 (32%).
conclusionsThe present study sheds light on an alarming lack of knowledge in pediatric pharmaceutics among pharmacies in Jordan. Further training and educational programs should be put in place to address this gap in knowledge.
