Accreditation and qualification of primary care teaching practices in Germany - a nationwide online survey of universities.
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. 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
Objectives: Compile information on the current measures undertaken by German universities to accredit and qualify primary care teaching practices. Methods: Nationwide online survey of teaching practice coordinators using a self-developed questionnaire, descriptive analysis of the quantitative data and qualitative content analysis of the free-text responses. Results: A total of 32 out of 41 university sites provided information. A structured accreditation process is conducted at 29 sites, most commonly by personally visiting the medical practices (n=22), alternatively through video calls (n=10) or telephone calls (n=9). 18 sites have a process in place to qualify medical practices for the block practicum (obligatory for qualification at 15 of these sites), 17 sites have one for the practical year (obligatory at 12), and 22 sites offer other additional training (mandatory at 8). Procedural formats and length of time vary. The imparted content includes organizational information, targeted learning objectives, and teaching methods. Conclusion: Structured accreditation and qualification measures are carried out by many universities. A nationwide harmonization of teaching practice qualification is advantageous for enabling cross-site qualification programs.
