Quantitative Changes in the Number of Basic Medicine Faculty at Medical Schools in Korea: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 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
This study analyzed the current status of basic medicine faculty and graduate students in 40 Korean medical schools, highlighting critical challenges. Medical doctor (MD) professors in basic medicine are increasingly valued for their ability to bridge basic and clinical knowledge. However, while 132 MD professors are projected to retire, only 104 MD graduate students are currently in training, raising concerns about future faculty recruitment and educational quality. The balance between MDs and non-MDs is becoming increasingly uneven, particularly in non-metropolitan areas, heightening concerns about both educational quality and regional disparities. The persistent shortage of faculty, especially in traditional fields, is expected to worsen with planned increases in medical school admissions. Policy interventions, financial incentives, and targeted strategies are urgently required to attract more MDs to basic medicine and maintain high educational standards. Future research should focus on practical solutions, regional disparities, and students' perceptions of basic medicine careers to guide effective policy development.
