What do we know about Objective Structured Clinical Examination in Sport and Exercise Medicine? A scoping review.
Article in Canadian medical education journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and objectives: Despite the importance of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in Sport and Exercise Medicine, the literature on the topic is fragmented and has been poorly developed. The goal of this review was to map current knowledge about how the OSCE is used in Sport and Exercise Medicine, and to identify knowledge gaps for future research. Method: The authors conducted a scoping review. They searched PubMed and Scopus for articles using key terms related to 'OSCE' and 'sport medicine' with no limit on search start date and up to July 2022. Retrieved records were imported, abstracts were screened, and full-text articles were reviewed. A forward and backward citation tracking was conducted. Data was extracted and a qualitative meta-summary of the studies was conducted. Results: A total of 469 records were screened, and 22 studies were included. The objectives of the studies included using OSCEs to assess knowledge/skills after a training program ( Conclusion: Despite the widespread use of OSCEs in the examination of Sport and Exercise Medicine trainees, only a handful of scholarly works have been published. More research is needed to support the use of OSCE in Sport and Exercise Medicine for its initial purpose. We highlight avenues for future research such as assessing the need for a deeper exploration of the relationship between candidate characteristics and OSCE scores.
