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

Before extending the range of services provided, maximizing the usefulness of current procedures within community pharmacy settings is needed, as the scope of pharmacy services is evolving in different dimensions. The present study aims to assess the degree of factors affecting the satisfaction of traditional community pharmacy services using population data collected from patients attending academic and public healthcare centers in Jordan. A validated, pretested, and adapted survey instrument has been utilized to assess the satisfaction of contemporary services delivered by community pharmacists in different dimensions. Linear regression analysis evaluated the predictors associated with higher total satisfaction scores with community pharmacy services. The present study included 642 patients attending healthcare centers. Different dimension scores, such as explanation and consideration, scored similarly, with values ranging from 64.5% - 69.7% of the maximum possible score. The mean total scale score was 67.2% of the total possible scores. Using the linear regression analysis, respondents who were satisfied with their treatment plans were likely to have higher satisfaction with community pharmacy services. The increased number of prescription medications and increased age were associated with lower satisfaction with community pharmacy services. Results indicated that healthcare policymakers might be confident in the services within the community pharmacy setting; however, there is always room for more robust quality control activities.
