Competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum and its effect on prevalence of anxiety, depression and stress amongst medical undergraduates.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundA growing body of literature now identifies higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress among medical students as a distinct mental health domain. The competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum was introduced to revamp the existing curriculum with an aim to garner constructive impact on the mental health of undergraduate medical students. As such, we sought to draw comparisons between the mental health of medical students, studying the old (2018 batch) and the new (2019 batch) medical education systems in India. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe designed a survey that contained structured questions pertained to anxiety (HAM-A, GAD-7), depression (HAM-D, BDI), and stress (PSS) amongst medical undergraduate students of 2018 and 2019 batches at the Government Doon Medical College (GDMC), Dehradun, India.
resultsContrasting the 2018 and 2019 batches, the introduction of CBME resulted in a significant two-fold decrease in moderate anxiety, as exhibited by both HAM-A (6.0 vs 3.0,
conclusionThe CBME system has made a significant impact on the mental health of undergraduate medical students for anxiety, albeit its effect on depression and stress remains equivocal. Future studies are warranted to compare the effect of CBME in other undergraduate and postgraduate courses across the country to help predict the psychological impact of the newfangled CBME education system.
