Intergovernmental Learning Exchange to Advance Data-Driven Decision Making: Experiences from Nigeria.
Article in F1000Research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Nigeria has strategically invested in digital health to achieve HIV/AIDS epidemic control, meet SDG health targets, and advance towards UHC. Despite progress, challenges persist. This paper details Nigeria's commitment, in collaboration with PEPFAR, CDC, and other agencies, to address Health Information System (HIS) challenges through participation in the Intergovernmental Learning Exchange to Advance Data-Driven Decision Making (I-LEAD) programme. Methods: The I-LEAD programme followed a three-phase approach: 1) conducted an expedited Informatics-Savvy Health Organisation (ISHO) assessment to identify critical national HIS challenges; 2) enhanced informatics capabilities of selected Nigerian delegates, including a purpose-fit session, Bring Your Own Difficult Decision (BYODD), involving SMEs to collaboratively refine, contextualise and guide the localised development of actionable solutions for national HIS challenges; and 3) outlined the nation's approach to implementing the HIS solutions. Results: The expedited ISHO assessment identified five HIS challenges: governance, interoperability, data security, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) centralisation, and funding. Participating in the I-LEAD programme strengthened Nigeria's leadership technical capacity in informatics, particularly in strategic visioning and planning, with the BYODD sessions resulting in the collaborative development of localised solutions to address the five HIS challenges. In the post-I-LEAD phase, efforts focused on two of the HIS solutions. These activities are 1) improving data quality through harmonisation of value data sets, and 2) decentralising I-LEAD learning and building the capacity of Public Health Informatics (PHI) technical groups through progressive levels of Growing Expertise in E-Health Knowledge and Skills (GEEKS) training. These activities were selected because of their potential to deliver the maximum impact within the HIS ecosystem. Conclusion: Nigeria's active participation and commitment through the I-LEAD programme have strengthened its digital health agenda, leveraging health informatics to enhance healthcare delivery and achieve broader health goals. This approach can serve as a model for other developing nations facing similar health informatics hurdles.
