Dismantling ableism in health professions education: imperative in psychosocial management of pain.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Pain and chronic pain are prevalent and costly. Integrative models of pain management including the biopsychosocial (BPS) model of pain are central to contemporary public health efforts to address pain, however, uptake of the BPS model of pain in patient care is inconsistent. Aspects of health professions education (HPE) have been identified as barriers to BPS use including emphasis on the medical model and the hidden curriculum. Similarly, hidden curriculum in HPE limits disability inclusion and reduces healthcare accessibility. This perspective offers a conceptual framing of ableism as a driving force for both marginalizing and exclusionary features in HPE. Ableism centers on normative ways of functioning, thinking, and being, which contributes to training of providers who may not apply holistic and multidimensional understanding of pain. Dismantling ableism and working toward anti-ableist HPE requires recognition of ableism, cultivating environments that model anti-ableist approaches, and addressing the contributing systems. By transforming learning environments and promoting anti-ableist HPE, the same dispositional and structural conditions needed for BPS approaches to pain can be achieved.
