Pioneering and sustaining capacity building in diabetes care: journey of the CCEBDM program.
Article in BMC 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
backgroundGiven the rising burden of diabetes and related complications in India, primary care physicians have been identified as crucial to mitigate the increasing burden at the population level. Therefore, effective training programs tailored to enhance their competencies in diabetes care become indispensable for improving patient health outcomes. Catering to this need, the Certificate Course on Evidence-Based Diabetes Management (CCEBDM) offers a structure that equips frontline care health providers with the necessary skills to provide evidence-based diabetes care.
methodsThe paper mostly presents descriptive and qualitative insights to explain the various components of the CCEBDM program that have contributed to its sustained success and impact.
resultsTo date, a total of 17,557 primary care physicians (PCPs) have enrolled for the training in the CCEBDM program. The participants comprise a diverse group of physicians, encompassing clinical experience ranging from 3 to 54 years (mean: 10.4 years). Respondents have reported measurable improvements in both clinical practice and patient care following CCEBDM training. Participants from a small narrative program evaluation based on retrospective survey data reported an increase in the average patients per month from 80 to 140, showing a 76% increase in the number of patients managed. Given the extensive number of PCPs trained by CCEBDM, this indicates a significant impact in forwarding evidence-based management of diabetes in India. The undebatable decade-long success of the CCEBDM program may be attributed to two main factors. The first factor consists of adaptability & innovative methods that have helped evolve the program in tune with the changing epidemiological needs and gaps in diabetes management in India. The second factor consists of robust and valid features that have ensured and preserved the quality of the program.
conclusionsThe paper outlines a forward-looking agenda for optimizing the program’s impact on transforming India’s diabetes care landscape. Given the rising incidence of non-communicable diseases and the acute shortage of specialized care in underserved areas, the paper explains why programs like CCEBDM are well-positioned to serve as a strategic model for decentralized capacity-building.
