Chiropractic residencies and fellowships as continuing education: a review of chiropractic state boards policies.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo review United States chiropractic state boards acceptance of chiropractic residencies and fellowships as continuing education (CE).
methodsBetween February 2024 and April 2024, board websites and accompanying policy documents for all 50 states and the District of Columbia were manually searched for content related to residencies and fellowships and whether they were considered CE. Information regarding CE credit requirements for new licensees was also collected. Results were tabulated in a spreadsheet and descriptive analysis was performed. Consensus among a minimum of 5 of 6 investigators was sought.
resultsFour states (Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, and Minnesota) accept residencies or fellowships for CE credit, 6 states possess unclear regulatory language regarding these programs, and 41 states make no mention of these training programs among approved CE. Twenty-one states required CE credits during a licensee's initial renewal period, 1 state was unclear based on website content alone, and 29 states did not mandate CE for initial license renewal. More than 90% (19/21) of states that require CE for a licensee's first renewal do not or are unclear if they accept residencies or fellowships for credit.
conclusionFew chiropractic state boards currently accept residencies and fellowships as approved CE. As the number of these postdoctoral training programs for chiropractors grow, more state boards may be asked to determine their CE policies on them.
