Addressing the obstacles in cultivating global advocates for traditional Chinese medicine: qualitative perspectives from stakeholder interview analysis.

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
Background: In the context of accelerated globalization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), cultural disparities and heterogeneity in cognitive frameworks have intensified dissemination resistance, resulting in multidimensional challenges in talent cultivation. Delays in terminological translation, cross-cultural communication barriers, ambiguous career pathways, coupled with uneven resource allocation and policy misalignment, significantly hinder the effectiveness of TCM's international promotion. Methods: Between May and June 2025, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with four stakeholder groups-students, educators, scholars, and experts ( Results: The findings reveal that students and educators primarily emphasize linguistic and pedagogical barriers, whereas scholars and experts underscore deficiencies in interdisciplinary paradigms and institutionalized training mechanisms. The central contradiction involves the disconnect between international talent demands and localized educational systems, characterized by homogenized talent cultivation and inadequate adaptation to cross-cultural competencies and international standards. Institutional bottlenecks include short-term resource investments and the lack of effective coordination mechanisms, leading to neglect of foundational infrastructure over the long term. Conclusion: An innovative "dual-track knowledge translation and collaborative governance" framework is proposed. Top-level design should involve government-led establishment of an international TCM dissemination alliance and dedicated funding to enhance infrastructure; universities should develop cross-cultural curricula and a national terminology standard platform, integrated into professional certification systems; mechanism innovation should focus on establishing core competency standards for TCM internationalization, aligning stakeholder interests, and fostering sustainable, ecosystem-based development.
