Empowering medical students in the climate crisis: elective curriculum for undergraduate medical education.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. 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
Introduction: Climate change has a widespread impact on human disease and population health. Despite calls for action from physician organizations, medical schools have been slow to integrate climate and health education into their curricula. Curriculum design: We designed and implemented a medical student elective focused on climate and health. The course consisted of expert-led didactics and small group discussions using case-based or journal article-based sessions to explore the intersection of climate change and health. Qualitative student feedback on the course was collected with a RedCap form after each iteration of the course. Results: Upon course completion, students reported greater comfort in understanding the impact of climate change on the health of their community and recognizing how climate change exacerbates health disparities. Students also noted that they hoped to integrate what they learned in their future medical practice. Discussion: This course demonstrates a feasible model for incorporating climate and health education into medical curricula that may be used by other medical schools. Such educational interventions may better prepare future physicians to address the health consequences of climate change and promote health equity.
