1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Escalating pharmacist emigration amid workforce shortages intensifies system strain, reinforcing a poorly understood retention crisis in Nigeria. This study examined the influence of work-life balance (WLB), personal fulfillment (PF), and job satisfaction (JS) on emigration intent (EI) among pharmacists. Methods: A mixed-method cross-sectional survey of 407 pharmacists from all six geopolitical zones and practice settings (community, industry, hospital, regulatory, and academia) was conducted. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) complemented by thematic analysis of two focus groups ( Results: WLB significantly predicted PF (β = 0.773, Conclusion: These findings underscore work-life balance and job satisfaction as critical drivers of pharmacists' emigration intents, and highlight their strategic importance in workforce retention interventions.
