1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Since the beginning of the 21st century, China's socioeconomic progress has altered lifestyles, accelerated urbanization, and population aging, significantly raising the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Currently, CVD stands as China's primary cause of death, necessitating the establishment of a high-quality cardiovascular workforce. While international research on competence models for cardiovascular physicians exists, the unique characteristics of Chinese CVD warrant a tailored approach. Despite numerous studies on competence models for clinical physicians in China, a model specific to cardiovascular physicians, aligned with the Chinese context, is lacking. This study aims to develop such a model to address CVD challenges and aid in recruitment, assessment, and training, aligning with the objectives of the "Healthy China 2030" plan. Utilizing a modified Delphi method, this study conducted two rounds of Delphi surveys involving 20 experts from renowned cardiovascular departments in Guangdong Province, China, based on literature reviews, behavioral event interviews, and expert consultations. Rigor and scientific validity were enhanced through measures such as experts' positive coefficient, experts' authority coefficient, and experts' coordination coefficient. Weightings for primary and secondary indicators were calculated using the Analytic Hierarchy Process and percentage weighting methods. The final cardiovascular physician competency model, tailored to the Chinese context, was determined. In both rounds of the Delphi surveys, the experts' positive coefficient exceeded 80%, the authority coefficient exceeded 0.7, and the p-values for the coordination coefficient were less than 0.01. These results indicate high accuracy and reliability, with strong expert consensus. The study developed a competency model comprising 8 primary indicators and 60 secondary indicators, with assigned weightings for each indicator. By utilizing an improved Delphi consensus process, the research team developed a competency model tailored to the Chinese context for cardiovascular physicians. This model encompasses various elements of clinical performance and professional behavior, and it is designed to provide effective guidance for the recruitment, evaluation, and residency training of cardiovascular physicians in China.
