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
backgroundCompetency-based medical education, structured around the 6 core competencies of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), underpins postgraduate training in ACGME-International (ACGME-I)- accredited institutions. Despite its central role, limited evidence exists regarding trainees' awareness, confidence, and educational preferences related to these competencies, particularly in the Middle East. This study aimed to assess postgraduate trainees' awareness and confidence across the 6 ACGME competencies and to explore their orientation preferences at Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar's largest ACGME-I-accredited academic center.
methodsA cross-sectional electronic survey was distributed to all postgraduate trainees at Hamad Medical Corporation. The questionnaire assessed self-reported awareness and confidence across the 6 ACGME Core Competencies, perceived emphasis during training, and preferred formats and frequency of competency-based orientation.
resultsA total of 255 trainees completed the survey. Overall confidence was high across most competency domains, particularly in medical knowledge, interpersonal and communication skills, and professionalism. Systems-based practice and practice-based learning and improvement were the least familiar and least emphasized domains. Trainees who previously received structured competency orientation reported significantly higher confidence across all domains (
conclusionPostgraduate trainees demonstrate strong overall awareness of ACGME-I competencies; however, notable gaps persist in systems-based practice and practice-based learning and improvement. Structured, recurring competency orientation is associated with higher trainee confidence.
