Integrating ChatGPT as a Tool in Pharmacy Practice: A Cross-Sectional Exploration Among Pharmacists in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Integrated pharmacy research & practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Purpose: Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially ChatGPT, is rapidly assimilating into healthcare, providing significant advantages in pharmacy practice, such as improved clinical decision-making, patient counselling, and drug information management. The adoption of AI tools is heavily contingent upon pharmacy practitioners' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP). This study sought to evaluate the knowledge and practices of pharmacists in Saudi Arabia concerning the utilization of ChatGPT in their daily activities. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed from May 2023 to July 2024 including pharmacists in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. An online pre-validated KAP questionnaire was disseminated, collecting data on demographics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices about ChatGPT. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were conducted using SPSS. Results: Of 1022 respondents, 78.7% were familiar with AI in pharmacy, while 90.1% correctly identified ChatGPT as an advanced AI chatbot. Positive attitudes towards ChatGPT were reported by 64.1% of pharmacists, although only 24.3% used AI tools regularly. Significant predictors of positive attitudes and practices included academic/research roles (β=0.7, p=0.005) and 6-10 years of experience (β=0.9, p=0.05). Ethical concerns were raised by 64% of respondents, and 92% reported a lack of formal training. Conclusion: While the majority of pharmacists held positive attitudes toward ChatGPT, practical implementation remains limited due to ethical concerns and inadequate training. Addressing these barriers is essential for successful AI integration in pharmacy, supporting Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative.
