Building the future health workforce: outreach pathways and the Holistic Ecosystem Model.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Healthcare workforce shortages and inequities in access to medical education remain persistent global challenges. Expanding participation in health professions education has become a central strategy for strengthening healthcare systems and improving population health outcomes. This perspective applies the Holistic Ecosystem Model (HES) as its central analytical framework to examine outreach initiatives across the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore. The HES conceptualizes pathways into medicine as dynamic systems shaped by four interacting layers: the learner pathway, educational structures, institutional systems, and community and policy environments. Viewing outreach through this ecosystem lens reveals why piecemeal interventions so often fall short-and what more coordinated, systemic strategies might achieve.
