The European Council on Chiropractic Education identification of critical standards to accredit chiropractic programs: a qualitative study and thematic analysis.

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
objectiveThe objectives for this project were to: (1) identify and agree upon "critical standards" that must be "fully" or "substantially compliant" for a maximum 8-year reaccreditation, (2) compare recent compliance for each critical standard for all accredited programs, and (3) identify which standards have lower compliance levels compared to others.
methodsThis qualitative study uses thematic analysis. The 37 European Council on Chiropractic Education (ECCE) standards were assessed by the Quality Assurance Committee (QAC) to identify "critical standards" requiring "fully" or "substantially compliant" ratings for the maximum 8-year accreditation time period. These were approved by the entire ECCE. A table identifying specific criteria for each compliance level then was created. The most recent evaluation reports for all accredited programs were reviewed to record compliance levels for each critical standard and identify the number falling below the status of "substantially compliant". Specific standards with the highest proportion falling below "substantially compliant" also were identified.
resultsEighteen of 37 standards were deemed critical. Two of 10 accredited programs had 0 "critical standards" below "substantially compliant" and two programs had three below this level. The most common standard to fall below "substantially compliant" was "faculty recruitment" with three programs (30%) at "partially compliant."
conclusionIdentification and approval of "critical standards" requiring at least substantial compliance and the compliance criteria table facilitate implementation of the flexible 8-year reaccreditation period, providing the flexibility needed to work collaboratively with national accrediting agencies. "Faculty recruitment" standard had the highest percentage of programs rated as "partially" compliant.
