Adaptive strategies of a medical school during Sudan's armed conflict.
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 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
backgroundMedical schools play a vital role in healthcare, educating future professionals while upholding a moral and societal duty to address community health needs. In armed conflicts, these responsibilities intensify as health system failures, infrastructure damage, and educational disruptions increase the demand for medical training and community support. This study examines how the Faculty of Medicine, University of Gezira (FMUG), employs adaptive strategies, crisis management, and collaboration to sustain education, research, and community engagement while addressing evolving health challenges during the Sudan conflict.
methodsWe used a qualitative approach, combining document analysis and interviews with nine key informants. Document analysis applied the WHO Social Accountability Grid Framework, assessing relevance, equity, quality, and cost-effectiveness across education, research, and service in planning, doing, and impacting phases. Interview data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six-step thematic analysis.
resultsDocument analysis identified five themes: curriculum innovation, technology use, community service, collaboration, and research-driven policy. Interviews with faculty and administrators further highlighted five themes on FMUG's adaptive strategies: impact on education, crisis management, flexible learning, implementation challenges, and sustainability.
conclusionThis study highlights the critical role of educational innovation in sustaining academic continuity and addressing community needs in conflict zones. FMUG's integration of flexible learning, technology, and strategic partnerships enabled both immediate crisis response and long-term resilience. Future research should examine the lasting impact of these adaptive strategies on medical education and healthcare systems.
