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

Integrative oncology (IO) programs in cancer care institutions are increasing. However, specialized training in IO is still limited. In 2022, we launched the first Integrative Medicine in Hematology Oncology (IMHO) fellowship program in the United States. Here, we describe a roadmap and educational model for building a fellowship, utilizing the core competencies from Witt et al. and accreditation requirements of the Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine and Health (ACIMH) as the foundation to build an IO fellowship program pilot program. The pilot program was based on a national needs assessment identifying the need for an integrative oncology training program. This review presents a theoretical framework for IO education. The framework is based upon the construction and successes of the IMHO fellowship pilot program. The fellowship's foundation was built on the core competencies of integrative oncology knowledge, skill, and ability centered around the requirements of the ACIMH to meet requirement the of 1000 + hours in clinic, didactics, and research. Through the utilization of established integrative medicine curriculum married to integrative oncology-specific didactics, clinical application, and research initiatives, the pilot model has led to successful enrollment numbers, fellowship completion, and integrative medicine board eligibility. We put forward a roadmap for establishing IO educational programs, which can be tailored per center or institution. The IMHO pilot provides a clear and distinctive model to follow, allowing the ongoing need for fine-tuning and exploration of other models in the future to provide education across provider disciplines.
