Advancing emergency medicine across Asia: a roadmap for leadership, collaboration, and digital transformation.

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
Emergency medicine has evolved from an emerging discipline to a formally recognised specialty across much of Asia over the past four decades. Adoption has been staggered, from early pioneers such as Singapore, the Philippines and Hong Kong, to more recent recognition in India, Brunei, Myanmar, Laos and several Middle Eastern countries. This broad but uneven maturation has not eliminated substantial workforce and systems gaps. Challenges include shortages of trained emergency medicine specialists, variable training quality and persistent brain drain towards higher-income health systems. At the plenary session "Leading Change Together: Regional Collaboration for Emergency Medicine in Asia" during the Asian Conference on Emergency Medicine 2025 in Dubai, regional society leaders and international federation representatives examined three interlinked domains: workforce growth and retention, regional collaboration and standard-setting, and the implications of digital innovation and artificial intelligence for emergency care. In this communication, we synthesise the panel and audience discourse to argue that the next phase of emergency medicine development in Asia depends on three domains. We urge stakeholders to establish a coherent training and leadership pipeline supporting both undergraduate and postgraduate development; to foster purposeful cross-border collaboration led by professional societies to harmonise standards and share expertise; and to implement digital transformation strategies that maximise integration, promote equity, and maintain a strong focus on human-centred care. By committing to practical actions across each domain, we can collectively shift the region from fragmented growth to a more resilient, equitable, and future-ready emergency care ecosystem, positioning Asia as a global reference for emergency medicine development in diverse, resource-variable settings.
