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: Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) pose a serious challenge in pharmaceutical care, affecting medication safety and treatment outcomes. Pharmacists play a crucial role in identifying, preventing, and managing DDIs. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, practices, and perceived barriers related to DDIs among pharmacists in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between September and December 2024. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among pharmacists in Riyadh using a structured questionnaire to gather demographic data and assess knowledge, attitudes, practices, and perceived barriers toward DDI management. Statistical analyses, including correlation and binary logistic regression, were employed to investigate the associations. Results: Among the participants, 63.8% were 30-39 years (40.8%). A moderate positive correlation was found between attitudes and practices ( Conclusion: Formal training in DDIs markedly improves pharmacists' practices. Younger age and higher qualifications are associated with fewer perceived barriers. Tailored educational interventions are crucial to enhance DDI management and promote patient safety.
