Developing Content Weights for the 2026 Sports Medicine Blueprint.
Article in Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine : JABFM, 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
introductionThe Certificate of Added Qualification in Sports Medicine is administered by the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) and cosponsored by the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM), the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP), and the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR). This article reviews the methodology used to determine the weighting of CAQSM assessments across five content domains.
methodsA survey was comprised of 231 sports medicine clinical activities asking respondents to rate how often they perform a clinical activity (the Frequency Index- FI) and to rate the level of risk to the patient if the condition is misdiagnosed or not managed properly (the Index of Harm-IoH). A random sample of 800 diplomates representing Sports Medicine Diplomates from five member boards was selected to participate. Rasch modeling was employed to analyze the survey results. The sports medicine advisory committee voted to equally balance FI+IoH survey results to weight the content domains.
resultsThe survey response rate was 42.2%. Survey respondents were demographically representative of the overall sampling frame across key variables, except for primary certifying board. Weights for the content domains were as follows: Musculoskeletal Conditions (32.1%), Medical Conditions (30.2%), Care of Emergency Conditions (22.4%) and Preventive Aspects of Sports Medicine (10.4%). DISCUSSION: This is the first nationally representative survey of sports medicine clinical activities performed in the United States. This survey data was used to develop a new sports medicine blueprint. In the future, this data may be used to develop curriculum or assessments.
