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

Digital healthcare has rapidly evolved during and in the post-COVID pandemic era, expanding the roles and responsibilities of community pharmacists. Services like telepharmacy, e-prescriptions, remote medication therapy management, and digital monitoring of chronic conditions, have evolved into everyday routine pharmacy practices. Pharmacists are at the forefront and the most accessible healthcare professionals for patients and are increasingly pivotal in providing comprehensive patient care, including digital patient care services. To ensure that future generations of pharmacists are digitally competent, it is crucial that digital health education is provided to pharmacy students. Furthermore, fostering high-quality multidisciplinary research, particularly in collaboration with medicine and other health disciplines, is essential for advancing the digital health skills of the future pharmacy workforce. Despite the growing use of digital health technologies, there are significant between-country differences in digital health education, the clinical settings in which digital health technologies are used, and their implementation in day-to-day practice. This commentary summarizes key insights from the International Digital Health Workshop held at the University of Sydney in November 2023. To help ensure pharmacists are included as participants in future digital health research, recent advances in digital health education and interprofessional research projects across three universities from far-off world regions were presented. Participants discussed a possible collaborative, interprofessional, and international research project on chronic disease prevention using digital health technologies. The need for interdisciplinary digital health curricula was highlighted in the workshop discussions, specifically tailored to address the knowledge requirements of pharmacists and other healthcare professionals.
