Article in BMC medical education, 2026. 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
backgroundThe rapid evolution of healthcare demands professionals with intrapreneurial and innovative competencies to improve patient care and organizational efficiency. Although the EntreComp framework provides a well-established model for entrepreneurial competence development, a validated, contextualized adaptation for the healthcare sector is lacking. This study aimed to develop and validate the CII-CARE framework, an adaptation of EntreComp tailored to support healthcare professionals in Flanders, Belgium.
methodsA mixed-methods approach was applied, combining the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) and Delphi method. Twelve experts from academia, policy, education, and healthcare sectors participated in one focus group and three iterative Delphi rounds. Qualitative thematic analysis refined the framework iteratively, while quantitative analysis included Content Validity Index (CVI) calculations, medians, and score distributions.
resultsThe validated CII-CARE Framework consists of three competency clusters: Ideas and Opportunities, Resources, and Into Action, encompassing 15 competencies, 38 sub-competencies, and 150 behavioral indicators. Consensus was reached on most sub-competencies, with CVI scores exceeding 0.78 for most items, reflecting substantial agreement. Expert feedback led to refinements such as merging overlapping content and improving the clarity of behavioral indicators.
conclusionsThe CII-CARE Framework provides a validated tool for healthcare organizations to foster and evaluate intrapreneurial and innovative competencies. Integrating this framework into professional development programs may enhance healthcare professionals’ skills, improve job satisfaction, and support innovation, ultimately contributing to better patient care and organizational efficiency.
