Implementation of an international continuing health professions education programme in sports medicine: a process evaluation.
Article in BMJ open sport & exercise medicine, 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
Objective: To describe and evaluate the implementation and outcomes of a targeted health professions education (HPE) programme. Aspetar Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Hospital's accredited education programme targets a global health professions audience-those working at the hospital, those employed to provide services at all Qatar's sports clubs and federations and those from the region and globally. Design: A descriptive process evaluation using routinely collected survey data from accredited continuing professional development (CPD) activities in Aspetar between 2017 and 2023. The evaluation was structured by the RE-AIM framework which evaluates a program across the five dimensions: Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance. Results: During the study period, 420 accredited CPD activities were completed and attended by 50 772 professionals. A total of 13 557 feedback survey responses were collected during the first accreditation cycle of the HPE programme (2017-2023). The HPE programme demonstrated a steady increase in reach over time, received positive effectiveness ratings and demonstrated a steady increase in attendance rate highlighting successful implementation. Conclusion: Applying the RE-AIM framework highlighted key strengths in the reach, effectiveness and implementation of the Aspetar HPE programme. Overall reach was satisfactory; effectiveness was evident through perceived improvement in clinical performance and implementation through continuous learning over time. Although not all framework dimensions were applicable to our study, our findings could inform efforts to further improve the HPE programme, serve as a model for similar education programmes elsewhere and bolster healthcare services and patient outcomes in sports medicine.
