Four "teachable moments" for "planetary health" or how to integrate sustainable healthcare topics into clinical courses in family medicine for undergraduate medical students.

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
This article discusses the integration of planetary health and sustainable healthcare into family medicine education, focusing on undergraduate medical training. While environmental impacts on health have been recognized since ancient times, the urgency of addressing climate change in healthcare has escalated, especially as the healthcare sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. The article highlights practical ways for medical educators to incorporate sustainable healthcare practices in family medicine settings. Through four "teachable moments", it demonstrates how medical students can engage in sustainability efforts, from reducing practice carbon footprints to minimizing unnecessary tests and treatments. The challenges of incorporating planetary health into an already crowded medical curriculum are acknowledged, and the authors propose an integrative approach, leveraging family practices' flexibility. They emphasize the importance of involving students in sustainability efforts, fostering bidirectional learning that benefits both the teaching practice and the students' future careers.
