Nutrition education in core medical curricula: a call to action from tomorrow's doctors.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
In recent years lifestyle interventions have gained traction as increasingly useful ways to promote health among the population. Within these changes, nutrition remains paramount. We aimed to present an overview of the current status of nutrition education in UK undergraduate medical curricula, highlighting pockets of innovative teaching, alongside areas for improvement. Nutrition competency is outlined in General Medical Council Outcomes for Graduates, increasingly featured in mainstream headlines and relevant to each medical speciality. Drawing on our personal experiences we offer insights and suggestions on how the delivery and assessment of nutrition education could be improved. We believe that integrating nutrition into core curricula is urgently needed in order to increase students' and doctors' confidence in discussing the topic of nutrition with patients, with the aim to empower patients to make health promoting dietary changes.
