Developing recommendations on ethical aspects affecting studies in health professions education research.
Article in GMS journal for medical education, 2026. 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
Background: In addition to meeting legal requirements, education research studies in the health professions must also factor in aspects of ethical research. However, no specific guidance exists as of yet on how to implement these requirements and aspects in practice. Our aim was therefore to develop recommendations on how to apply aspects of ethical research when planning, conducting and publishing such studies. Method: The recommendations were developed by the members of the Results: Two separate sets of recommendations were developed. One set contains actions to ensure data protection, free consent, no harm to and the autonomy of participants (six areas with a total of 29 measures); the other addresses the quality assurance of studies and publications (four areas with a total of 14 measures). Discussion: The recommendations provide assistance when considering ethical aspects and applying them. However, they do not replace any existing rules or the individual reflections of the researchers. These recommendations should undergo continual development and be investigated in regard to their application and effect on decision-making processes in education research.
