Baseline survey on the scope of education and training for rare bone and mineral diseases.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 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
Survey findings from 69 ERN BOND and Endo-ERN health care providers, main stakeholders in advancing the care of patients with rare bone and mineral disorders, reveal the need to develop an accredited, structured, harmonised and accessible cross-border Educational and Training programme in this field. PURPOSE: There are disparities in Education and Training (ET) in Rare Bone and Mineral Disorders (RBMDs) among European Member States (MSs). Health care providers (HCPs) from two European Reference Networks play pivotal roles in advancing RBMDs care: ERN BOND for rare bone diseases, and Endo-ERN for rare endocrine diseases. The purpose of this study was to map the ET landscape and identify gaps and unmet needs in this field.
methodsA 56-questions online survey developed by ERN BOND addressed educational activities, undergraduate and postgraduate ET, competence assessment, and future perspectives in RBMDs. Dissemination was via SurveyMonkey to all ERN BOND (38) and Endo-ERN (78) HCPs.
resultsCollectively, 69 HCPs (60%) representing 20 MSs responded. Most worked in academic institutions, were aged >50 yrs, and had >20 yrs experience. Educational tools most frequently used were PubMed Central searches, phone/email a colleague and attendance of "Meet the expert" sessions and RBMD-related courses. RBMDs were in the undergraduate curriculum of >60% of HCPs. The most popular postgraduate educational tools were formal lectures and learning on the job. Major gaps were specialist ET, and unmet needs were mainly for training workshops/seminars. Nearly all supported the creation of a common educational platform to develop a cross-border educational programme.
conclusionFindings from this survey among two ERNs representing the main stakeholders in the excellence of care for patients with RBMDs highlight the need for an accredited, structured, harmonized and accessible cross-border ET programme in this field and inform future initiatives for its development.
