Preparing pharmacists for disaster management and practice: protocol for a scoping review with a participatory approach.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
introductionEmergency humanitarian situations can be caused by extreme weather events, natural disasters, civil conflicts, international wars, terrorism and pandemics, which threaten our health and compromise health systems worldwide. Pharmacists are the third-largest healthcare professional group globally and provide pharmaceutical care and advice to people in need. However, the training opportunities to prepare pharmacists to respond in emergency humanitarian areas are not well described and may be limited. This scoping review aims to understand the extent and type of evidence in relation to training and education activities to prepare future pharmacists for disaster management in humanitarian emergency situations. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will analyse peer-reviewed literature relating to educational or training activities for pharmacists/pharmacy students in the delivery of pharmacy services in humanitarian emergency situations. Relevant medical subject headings and keywords will be used to search Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, ERIC, Informit, Web of Science and CINAHL databases from inception to the end of July 2024. Hand searching of any key references identified will also be performed. The title and abstract of search results will be screened to identify articles eligible to be included for full review. Articles meeting the inclusion criteria will undergo data extraction, content analysis and synthesis of the evidence using NVivo qualitative analysis software. A narrative summary of key themes and concepts in the literature will be presented as results. An international panel of experts will be consulted to inform decision-making processes during the development and interpretation stages, and we propose a template for the incorporation of participatory/consultative methodology into the scoping review process. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is not required for this study protocol because the members of the expert panel consulted are researchers who are participating based on their professional skills. Findings will be disseminated via publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presentation at international conferences.
