1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionClinical educator roles support workforce capability, training consistency, and quality and safety across allied health professions. Large multi-site medical imaging services face challenges in delivering consistent education and credentialing across diverse craft groups. In 2024, an operationally funded multidisciplinary medical imaging clinical educator (CE) team was established across a tertiary health network; the aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term outcomes of this workforce education model.

methodsA multidisciplinary CE model was implemented across radiography, sonography, nuclear medicine, nursing, and administrative roles. Education initiatives were organised across four interrelated domains: training and credentialing, cross-disciplinary collaboration, learning culture, and innovation. Outcomes were evaluated using participation metrics, credentialing data, and anonymous pre- and post-education confidence surveys. Evaluation was conceptually aligned with Kirkpatrick's framework, with reported outcomes reflecting Levels 1 (engagement) and 2 (self-reported learning), and emerging Level 3 indicators.

resultsEducation reach and engagement increased following implementation of network-wide communication, digital infrastructure, structured CPD delivery, and simulation-based education. Simulation programs demonstrated improved self-reported confidence, including first-trimester communication (mean confidence increased from 2.7 to 3.5 on a 4-point Likert scale). These findings indicate early engagement and learning gains, with emerging behavioural indicators.

conclusionAn operationally embedded multidisciplinary medical imaging CE model can strengthen education visibility, workforce engagement, and early credentialing outcomes across a large multi-site service. Although longer-term organisational (Level 4) outcomes require further evaluation, this model provides a scalable and structured approach to workforce education delivery in complex medical imaging environments.
