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

Introduction: Pharmacists are essential healthcare professionals which play a pivotal role in public health protection by offering diverse pharmacy services. This includes not only serving individuals in Ukraine but also addressing the needs of Ukrainian citizens residing in Poland. An exemplary initiative is the creation of the website Aim: This study aims to evaluate the perceptions of Ukrainian immigrant patients from Ukraine regarding the advanced pharmaceutical consultation service provided by Polish pharmacists. Material and Methods: This study included 250 respondents from Ukraine. The study was conducted in 2022 using an anonymous survey. The survey was distributed after pharmaceutical consultations in one of the cities near the Polish-Ukrainian border. As part of the project, Ukrainian patients who had run out of medicines due to war brought their medications to pharmacy counselling points organized by Polish pharmacists, and the pharmacists helped them find equivalents ias well as help treated minor ailments in Poland. Results: Practically all respondents strongly agree with all the statements posed in the survey, the percentage of such responses was close to 95%, with the lowest percentage observed for the statement "If possible, I would like this kind of service to be offered in any Polish pharmacy", which was 90.40%. Conclusion: Ukrainian patients highly appreciated the pharmaceutical consultation services provided by Polish pharmacists. The information given by pharmacists was clear and practical, and the services were deemed highly supportive. Expanding such initiatives to other assistance points could enhance the support network for displaced individuals.
