Incentivising Higher Level Outcome Achievement in Continuing Education: Five-Year Experience from the ACCME Commendation Criteria.
Article in Journal of CME, 2023. 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
The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) Menu of Criteria for Commendation was created to incentivise a variety of behaviours and outcomes from accredited providers. ACCME analysed data from among the 1,053 accreditation decisions made between November 2017 and March 2022, of which 122 had applied for commendation. Accredited providers plan for higher level outcomes in their activities at an increasing rate over the past five years. Since 2017, 49 (40%) of the 122 organisations that applied for commendation under ACCME's new Menu of Criteria for Commendation were awarded this distinction. Of the organisations applying for commendation, 62%, 48% and 31% sought commendation using the "performance", "quality" and "community health" criteria, respectively. The success rate for each of these criteria was 78%, 68% and 66% respectively. Accreditation incentives can change the performance of educational providers and augment the quality and efficacy of continuing education.
