Making Change in a Clinical Training Environment: A Checklist to Discuss the Process.
Article in Perspectives on 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
Background & Need for Innovation: Effective change management is critical to the success of organizational change initiatives. Failure rates are estimated at approximately 70%. Change projects in clinical education are embedded in complex environments, where patient care has priority, professionals traditionally enjoy a high degree of autonomy, and multiple stakeholders are involved. Achieving successful change in such settings requires careful preparation by leaders. External consultancy support is costly, while gaining a comprehensive overview of the change management literature is time-consuming. Goal of Innovation: A practical tool that prompts relevant questions tailored to clinical training settings. Steps taken for Development and Implementation of Innovation: The checklist was developed using a developmental evaluation approach. Over several years, we applied a question-based tool grounded in key concepts from the change management literature. Initially consisting of twelve questions, the tool was iteratively expanded based on user experiences, identifying themes most relevant to clinical training contexts. Multiple-choice response options were developed to prevent unproductive discussions. Outcomes of Innovation: The final product is a twenty-item checklist designed for discussion in small groups. Ideally, different stakeholder groups complete the checklist separately and subsequently compare perspectives on the change process. This approach facilitates a shared understanding of the risks of the change initiative and highlights unaddressed tasks. A game board, cards, and instructions are available for download and printing. Critical Reflection on Our Process: This change management tool offers a structured journey through selected change management concepts, supporting leaders in clinical training environments and stimulating dialogue about change processes in clinical contexts.
