Enhancing professional adaptability and clinical soft skills of new clinical pharmacists through a pre-training model in China: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWhile academic groups in China offer one-year standardized training for clinical pharmacists, these programs primarily emphasize clinical knowledge and may not adequately address the lack of job readiness and clinical soft skills among graduates without an academic background in clinical pharmacy.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a new pre-training model, the Clinical Pharmacist Occupational Adaptive Learning (CPOAL) program, in enhancing the professional adaptability and clinical soft skills of newly recruited pharmacists (NRPs) alongside the existing one-year clinical pharmacist training.
methodThe study included 20 NRPs without a clinical pharmacy background who were randomly divided into a CPOAL group and a control group. The CPOAL group underwent a three-month professional adaptability training program before the one-year standardized training. A questionnaire assessing career awareness, insight and independent thinking, cooperation, good character, execution ability, and stress resistance was given to both groups before and after the one-year training to analyze differences within and between the groups. In addition, after the one-year training, seven aspects of clinical soft skills, such as mental status, communication skills, resilience, comprehensive analysis, clinical thinking, patient privacy protection, and compassion for patients, were evaluated by three general medicine experts and three clinical pharmacy experts to determine the impact of CPOAL program on improving NRPs' soft skills.
resultsCompared to the control group, the CPOAL group exhibited notable enhancements in career awareness, adaptability to management demands, and basic work content adaptability, along with improvements in clinical reasoning and interdisciplinary collaboration abilities. Additionally, the CPOAL group displayed notably superior scores in adaptability, comprehensive analysis, and humanitarian values.
conclusionsCPOAL program serves as a valuable supplement to the existing clinical pharmacy training system, greatly enhancing the professional adaptability and clinical soft skills of NRPs. This pre-training model offers valuable insights for enhancing professional capabilities and improving the quality of medical services, with the potential for widespread adoption and impact.
