Unmet Needs of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Patients: Insights from a Needs Assessment Study.
Article in Pharmacy (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a multifaceted autoimmune disease that requires individualized care and informed patient counseling. Pharmacists are well-positioned to support SLE patients, yet gaps in knowledge and preparedness among pharmacy professionals may hinder optimal care. This study aimed to identify unmet educational and clinical needs related to SLE among pharmacy students and faculty, with the goal of informing strategies to incorporate SLE-focused education into pharmacy curricula. A systematic review of existing needs assessments was conducted, followed by a survey exploring participants' confidence, knowledge, and perceived preparedness in managing SLE. Results revealed significant disparities in understanding and confidence, particularly among students. Faculty demonstrated moderate confidence in areas such as medication counseling and lifestyle guidance, while students reported low confidence in discussing self-care, psychosocial support, and disease management. Both groups expressed uncertainty about tools and strategies for patient education and engagement. These findings highlight educational gaps in pharmacy students' and faculty's preparedness to manage SLE, underscoring the need to use these insights as a foundation for curricular development. Integrating these materials into pharmacy curricula and continuing education programs can enhance pharmacists' ability to deliver empathetic, informed, and patient-centered care. This study supports a broader effort to improve chronic disease management through interdisciplinary collaboration and educational innovation.
