Cultivating Professional Identity Formation in Medical Students: a Mixed-Methods Study of Nutrition-Focused Service Learning.
Article in Medical science educator, 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
Professional identity formation (PIF) is a central goal of medical education, shaping how future physicians integrate clinical responsibility and health equity. Nutrition is fundamental to these professional commitments, yet nutrition education is often marginalized and disconnected from identity formation. This pilot study examined a community garden-based nutrition service-learning curriculum as a site for socially mediated PIF. Thirty-one first-year medical students completed a validated PIF Scale pre-intervention and reflective writings post-intervention analyzed using Language Inquiry Word Count-22. Findings demonstrate alignment between PIF domains and linguistic markers of reflection, social engagement, and prosocial values, suggesting experiential nutrition education supports identity development.
