Preparing residents and fellows for armed conflict and war settings: a scoping review protocol of educational programmes.
Article in BMJ open, 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
introductionArmed conflict and war increasingly strain healthcare systems worldwide, particularly in regions affected by protracted violence and instability. Physicians practising in war settings must deliver care under conditions of insecurity, resource scarcity and health system disruption, yet graduate medical education (GME) largely prepares trainees for stable, high-resource environments. Residents and fellows are often underprepared for the clinical, ethical and operational challenges of armed conflict. This scoping review aims to map and synthesise the existing literature on educational programmes designed to prepare residents and fellows for clinical practice in armed conflict and war settings. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The review protocol follows the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley, with refinements by Levac ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is not required for this scoping review. The professional stakeholder consultation component will be conducted in accordance with institutional guidance and, if required, will be submitted for ethics review or exemption determination. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations, with the aim of informing GME curricula and strengthening physician preparedness for armed conflict and war settings.
