The bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery program for international students in China: policies, assessments and challenges.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Internationalization of medical education (IoME) in China is an integral part of the broader higher education internationalization efforts, a process that has been strategically designed and implemented by the Chinese government since the introduction of the opening-up policy in the late 1970s. The bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery (MBBS) program, a 6-year English medium undergraduate program with an international curriculum for overseas medical students, provides a new perspective on the IoME in China. This paper expounds on the national policy development of the IoME and MBBS program, summarizes the assessments of the program, and highlights the challenges arising from students (e.g., selection and support), curricula (e.g., curriculum integration) and faculties (e.g., faculty improvement) that constitute the core of the 3-dimensional model of the IoME. Improving the quality of the MBBS program would contribute to building a brand project of the IoME in China and balancing the medical workforce supply at the regional and global levels.
