An Overview of Continuing Medical Education/Continuing Professional Development Systems in China: A Mixed Methods Assessment.
Review in Journal of CME, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Aims of this assessment were to describe requirements for physicians to engage in CME/CPD; explore perceptions of In-Country SMEs of their CME/CPD systems; describe perceptions of In-Country physicians about interprofessional continuing education (IPCE) and independent CME/CPD; and provide recommendations that may be adopted to improve quality and effectiveness. This assessment used a mixed-methods approach that included 1:1 interviews with in-country subject matter experts and an electronic survey capturing qualitative and quantitative data from practicing in-country physicians. This assessment reflects a country invested in the education of its physician workforce. CME/CPD systems have embedded governance structures, organizations authorized to provide education, and a recognized credit system. Governing bodies have implemented regulations to limit influence from commercial interest organizations on CME/CPD, and there is opportunity to expand delivery systems to reach physicians across diverse geographic regions, better align content to individual physicians' gaps and learning needs, and reduce cost. There is opportunity to invest in IPCE within a country with a strong professional hierarchy system. This assessment reflects CME/CPD systems that are relatively mature and identifies several opportunities to expand and enhance systems to better meet educational needs of physicians and to positively impact practice and patient outcomes.
