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

Recent literature highlights the urgent need for integrating environmental and planetary health into healthcare education, emphasising the impact of environmental exposures on disease and the interconnection between planetary and human health. However, these discussions often overlook critical social dimensions that make environmental and planetary health training for healthcare professionals not just beneficial, but essential. This paper argues that healthcare professionals possess significant social influence, can address gendered and socioeconomic health inequalities, play a key role in sustainable transitions, serve as critical barriers against pseudoscience and fear-based misinformation, improve crisis preparedness, address regional environmental health disparities, and contribute to lowering healthcare costs. We conclude with recommendations to integrate environmental and planetary health into medical education, continuous professional training and interdisciplinary collaborations.
