EMYWAY Workplace-Based Entrustable Professional Activities Assessments in Otolaryngology Residency Training: A Nationwide Experience.
Article in Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 present workplace-based entrustable professional activities (EPAs) assessment data from the first 2 years of the EMYWAY platform in otolaryngology residency training in Taiwan. STUDY
designTwo-year cross-sectional study.
settingOtolaryngology training programs.
methodsIn 2020, the Taiwan Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (TSO-HNS) developed a workplace-based assessment (WBA) framework with 11 EPAs, integrating milestones to evaluate resident competency. In 2021, TSO-HNS piloted the EMYWAY platform for WBAs, which includes an EPA-based assessment workflow, coaching feedback, and a dashboard displaying residents' entrustment-supervision levels. Data are analyzed annually for accreditation and curriculum enhancement. This study reports on the pilot year and the first full-scale year of implementation.
resultsEleven programs participated in the pilot year. Subsequently, 362 faculty members and 274 resident physicians from 34 programs nationwide engaged with EMYWAY. In the full-scale year from August 2022 to July 2023, 9805 responses were recorded, primarily from surgical theaters (45.9%; 4502/9805) and third-year residents (23.8%; 2331/9805). The most frequently evaluated EPAs were "head and neck" (17.5%; 1716/9805), "sinonasal" (13.5%; 1324/9805), and "ear" (12.2%; 1193/9805), with task complexity increasing with resident seniority (P < .0001). A positive correlation was found between residents' self-assessments and faculty members' ratings (r = 0.531; P < .001). Over 98.2% of residents and 88.4% of faculty members provided substantial feedback (>10 words). Analysis of WBAs reported by training programs identified faculty development targets and teaching-intensive tasks.
conclusionEMYWAY effectively documents workplace learning and tracks resident competency progression. Continuous improvement of WBA quality is essential for advancing the competency-based medical education ecosystem.
