Concept-based curriculum: An evidence-based approach to developing a new framework for dietetics education?
Article in Nutrition & dietetics : the journal of the Dietitians Association of Australia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimsConcept-based approaches to curricula have been proposed as a solution to this issue, and 56 concepts have been proposed for dietetics curricula. This study aimed to develop a framework for a dietetic concept-based curriculum.
methodsA pragmatic approach was employed by a team of nine experienced Australian dietetic educators. Iterative processes of idea generation, reflection, group discussion, and consensus formation were applied by seven of the academics in a two-day face-to-face workshop and four online meetings to further develop the 56 curriculum concepts previously identified for dietetics by Tweedie et al. The discussions were supported by document analysis and critical discussion with two other academics as a reference group. The finalised set of concepts were conceptualised into a curriculum framework.
resultsThe original 56 concepts were expanded to 63, with seven concepts added in response to developing workforce demands. The 63 concepts were arranged into a framework of 19 core and 44 supporting concepts. Two exemplars were developed to show how five core concepts could be taught. The research team's processes and experiences provide a method for renewing curricula using concepts to guide others wishing to take this approach.
conclusionThis study used an evidence-based approach to develop the first concept-based curriculum framework for dietetics. This paper provides a guide and practical tools for dietetics curriculum developers willing to apply a different approach. These findings have implications for curriculum renewal in other competency-based credentialing programs.
