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

backgroundDigital technology has been widely integrated into healthcare. This encompasses knowledge, skills, and practices related to the development and use of health technologies. The behavior of health professionals is critical to the adoption of these technologies.

aimThis study aimed to investigate factors associated with hospital pharmacists' intention to use digital technology in their daily practice using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB).

methodIn this cross-sectional study, a paper-based survey was conducted among hospital pharmacists who attended the National Hospital Pharmacy Congress in Türkiye in March 2022. A valid and reliable Turkish scale based on the TBP was used to identify factors associated with the intention score by a multiple linear regression model.

resultsOne hundred ten participants completed the survey (response rate: 44.0%). Seventy percent of pharmacists reported that they had not received prior training in digital technologies. More than eighty percent of the participants said they intend to use digital technology in daily practice. The higher scores of attitudes (p = 0.005), self-efficacy (p < 0.001), and working place (p = 0.017) were associated with increased intention scores.

conclusionPositive attitudes, higher self-efficacy, and working in tertiary hospitals were associated with hospital pharmacists' intentions to use digital technology in daily practice. These factors should be considered in developing interventions to promote digital technology use of hospital pharmacists.
