Environmental sustainability in medical school curriculum: a scoping review.
Article in BMC medical education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn this scoping review, we aimed to explore the structure, topics, and objectives presented within environmental sustainability curricula in medical education and assess the impact and quality of environmental sustainability curricula in the medical schools.
methodsWe conducted searches in Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cinahl, and Global Index Medicus from inception to October 2025. Full-text, peer-reviewed articles were evaluated based on inclusion criteria. Data extracted from included articles included author, year, location, curriculum design, objectives, topics, outcome measures, and main findings.
resultsThe searches resulted in 3357 original articles. A total of five publications met the inclusion criteria and were dated from 2021 to 2025. The structure of the environmental sustainability curriculum in medical education reported in the studies included a one-hour interactive session, a 10-week traditional seminar elective, and a longitudinal integrated societal theme. Studies reported a significant improvement in medical students' self-perceived competence and knowledge in climate-related health issues.
conclusionAlthough the included studies highlighted a few different structures of incorporating environmental sustainability in medical education, there still remains a gap in the current literature on how best to implement and objectively assess the impact. Therefore, more research on environmental sustainability curriculum in medical education is needed.
