The development of the European Geriatric Medicine Specialty Exam.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeTo describe the development of the European Geriatric Medicine Specialty Exam (EGeMSE), from its early conception within the European Union of Medical Specialists-Geriatric Medicine Section (UEMS-GMS) to implementation of the first pilot examinations.
methodsThis narrative article was based on a review of UEMS-GMS meeting minutes, European Geriatric Medicine Society (EuGMS) educational documents, appendices, reports, presentations, policy documents, and other relevant archival and publicly available sources. The evolution of the EGeMSE was reconstructed chronologically.
resultsDiscussions regarding a European Geriatric Medicine examination began in 2003 and evolved through successive working groups addressing postgraduate training, curricula, and assessment. During the following decade, the initiative became closely linked to development of a common European postgraduate curriculum and collaborative educational structures involving the UEMS-GMS, EuGMS, European Academy for Medicine of Ageing, International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics-European Region, and other organisations. From 2018 onwards, the UEMS-GMS proposed a formal partnership with the British Geriatrics Society and the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom, enabling adaptation of an established examination model to create a two-paper, multiple-choice, English-language European postgraduate examination. Following the first pilot examination in April 2025, the EGeMSE was recommended as a benchmark assessment of specialist knowledge within the 2025 European Training Requirements for the Specialty of Geriatric Medicine.
conclusionThe EGeMSE represents the culmination of more than 2 decades of European collaboration and provides a voluntary benchmark for specialist knowledge that supports the harmonisation of postgraduate Geriatric Medicine education across Europe.
