Review of Continuing Medical Education in Tick-Borne Disease for Front-Line Providers.
Article in PRiMER (Leawood, Kan.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Considering increasing rates of tick-borne diseases (TBDs) in the United States, we investigated the scope of continuing medical education (CME) available to physicians on these infections. Methods: We surveyed online medical board and society databases serving front-line primary and emergency/urgent care providers for the availability of TBD-specific CME between March 2022 and June 2022. We recorded and analyzed opportunity title, author, web address, publication year, learning objectives, CME credit values, and CME credit type. Results: We identified 70 opportunities across seven databases. Thirty-seven opportunities focused on Lyme disease; 17 covered nine non-Lyme TBDs, and 16 covered general topics on TBDs. Most activities were hosted through family medicine and internal medicine specialty databases. Conclusion: These findings suggest limited availability of continuing education for multiple life-threatening TBDs of increasing importance in the United States. Increasing the availability of CME materials covering the broad scope of TBDs in targeted specialty areas is essential for increased content exposure and a necessary step to ensure our clinical workforce is adequately prepared to address this growing public health threat.
