Development of competency framework for postgraduate anesthesia training in China: a Delphi study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. 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
backgroundStandardized postgraduate medical education (PGME) in anesthesiology is not well-defined in China. Establishing a competency framework for postgraduate anesthesia training (PGAT) is essential for standardizing and enhancing the quality of training and patient care.
objectivesThis study aimed to develop a competency framework for PGAT in China.
methodsThis study employed a multi-step approach, including a literature review, semi-structured interviews, to formulate a list of preliminary competencies. This initial list included seven roles, 26 enabling competencies, and 162 competency items. A modified Delphi method was utilized to achieve consensus involving three rounds. Experts were recruited from the Chinese Society of Anesthesiology (CSA) across various regions of the country. Consensus was determined using a 5-point Likert scale, with a mean score of ≥ 4 and a consensus rate of ≥ 80% serving as criteria for agreement.
resultsForty-seven experts accepted the invitation to participate, with 46 returning scores for round 1 (90.2% response rate) and 45 returning scores for rounds 2 and 3 (88.2% response rate). The final competency framework includes 140 competency items within 23 enabling competencies, categorized into seven roles: medical expert, communicator, collaborator, professional leader, health advocate, academic scholar, and specialized professional.
conclusionsThis study represents an initial step towards establishing a contemporary competency-based medical education and training (CBMET) program for PGAT in China.
