1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 dual challenge of population growth and ageing is placing unprecedented pressure on Australia’s healthcare system, necessitating innovative approaches to workforce education and service delivery. This case study examines how Experience-Based Co-Design (EBCD) can be applied to a postgraduate workforce education program to strengthen healthcare professionals’ capability in navigating complex systems.

methodsThis work was undertaken within a broader hybrid type II implementation-effectiveness evaluation. This paper reports the co-design component as an embedded qualitative case study of developing a Graduate Certificate in Health Services Innovation (GCHSI). The GCHSI was delivered through a partnership between a university and a large Hospital and Health Service, engaging stakeholders from clinical, academic, and executive domains.

resultsOutcomes indicate that a structured, multi-staged co-design process grounded in EBCD principles is both feasible and acceptable in producing a program that is academically rigorous and professionally relevant. Stakeholder engagement contributed to authentic assessment design, curriculum relevance and inclusive learning strategies.

conclusionsCase study outcomes demonstrate the feasibility of using a structured EBCD-informed co-design process to develop a postgraduate program that is academically rigorous and operationally relevant. The co-design approach is recommended as a practical method to strengthen alignment between education design and service context.
