Population Health in the Medical School Curriculum: a Look Across the Country.
Article in Medical science educator, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionPopulation health (PH) is an important component of medical school education and is required for physicians to practice effectively. Identifying the number of medical schools teaching population health and the individual curricular components could lead to a better understanding of the current status of population health implementation into medical education. MATERIALS AND
methodsBetween February and March 2019, medical schools in the USA were surveyed about the structure and content of their population health curriculum. Differences were analyzed by school funding and class size.
resultsRespondents were gathered from 28 (68%) public and 13 (32%) private schools; 27 (66%) schools having fewer than 150 students and 14 (34%) having greater than or equal to 150. Thirty-two schools (78%) had a structured PH curriculum. Seven (22%) only had a dedicated preclinical module and 33 (83%) had a longitudinal curriculum throughout multiple years of school. Many programs utilized flipped classroom models ( DISCUSSION: Differences in population health curricula were found between school size and funding. As evidenced by this study, most medical schools recognize the importance of population health by including it in their curriculum and a majority are incorporating the subject longitudinally into multiple years of school.
