Integration of digital health into pharmacy education in Nigeria: Challenges and recommendations for national adoption.
Article in Digital health. 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
Digital health offers pharmacists the opportunities to enhance patient outcomes and transform healthcare services. Thus, its integration into the pharmacy curriculum and training programmes is highly essential for the dynamic role of pharmacists, in addition to the technical components learnt from their pharmacy institutions. Pharmacy education in Nigeria has evolved significantly over the decades, however, several barriers still challenge the integration of digital health. These challenges include insufficient infrastructure, rigid curricula, weak collaboration with digital health stakeholders, and inadequate technology adoption, among others. In this commentary, we highlight the significance of digital technologies in pharmacy practice and existing challenges to their integration in Nigeria's pharmacy education. We further propose a practical and strategic approach involving multiple relevant stakeholders to ensure pharmacy graduates in Nigeria are well-equipped for pharmacy practice in the current digital era.
