Greening the curriculum: challenges in bringing environmental sustainability to pharmaceutical education.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. 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
Environmental sustainability assumes a crucial dimension in modern pharmaceutical care, as the production, distribution, dispensing, and disposal of pharmaceutical products significantly contribute to environmental pollution and pose long-term health risks to the public. Pharmacists, as medication experts, play a central role in mitigating these risks through safe medication management, patient counseling, and advocacy for sustainable practices, working in close collaboration with prescribers and other healthcare professionals. It's essential to incorporate environmental sustainability into pharmaceutical curricula to prepare pharmacists for these challenges. Improper manufacturing and disposal of pharmaceuticals can contaminate soil and water, leading to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and ecological disruption. Real-world examples, such as the detection of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in natural waters, biota, and drinking water, underscore the need to address these challenges. By embedding sustainability in education, future pharmacists develop competencies in green chemistry principles, medication review and optimization, formulary stewardship, and guidance on safe drug disposal, thereby strengthening the sustainability of the healthcare system. Several initiatives worldwide emphasize the practical necessity of this academic training. This dynamic relationship ensures that pharmacists act as both guardians of patient health and stewards of environmental wellbeing.
