Is access to medical education improving?
Article in MedEdPublish (2016), 2017. 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
This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. The number of medical school places appears to be increasing faster than population growth in many parts of the world, with perhaps two main drivers. The first is the increasing population, in particular those with who are older and with chronic, complex health conditions. The second is globalisation and commercialisation of medical education, with growing numbers of fee-paying programs for applicants seeking careers in countries that offer the best career opportunities. Using Australia as an example, this paper suggests that while access to primary medical qualification programs is increasing, barriers to progress may have simply been moved to postgraduate employment and training opportunities, such that producing the workforce needed for a healthier population remains challenging.
