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

This study assessed the knowledge, attitude, and perception of pharmacogenomics among healthcare workers in Southwest Nigeria. A structured, questionnaire-based survey was administered to 229 healthcare workers in Southwestern Nigeria using a stratified sampling approach. Descriptive and inferential statistics using the Kruskal-Wallis or Chi-Square/Fisher's Exact test were performed with SPSS v. 29 at a 5% significance level. Good general knowledge was displayed by half of the participants (123, 53.7%), but specific knowledge declined significantly. The majority (200, 87.3%) expressed interest in receiving further education, with healthcare practitioners with <5 years' experience expressing higher optimism for getting involved in pharmacogenetic testing (p = 0.003) and expressing greater ability to identify sources of information on pharmacogenomics (p = 0.02). This suggests a significant gap between current educational provisions and the requisite understanding needed to implement pharmacogenomics effectively in the Nigerian healthcare system.
