Building an Obesity Medicine Workforce: Implementation of a Comprehensive Resident Training Pathway in an Underserved Care Environment.
Article in Journal of general internal 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
backgroundInternal medicine (IM) programs often inadequately prepare trainees to manage obesity.
aimTo develop a novel obesity medicine (OM) pathway for IM trainees.
settingClinic-based weight management program at an urban Federally Qualified Health Center.
participantsPGY2 and PGY3 categorical residents within a large urban IM residency training program. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This 1-2-year longitudinal OM pathway includes (1) foundational knowledge: developed through asynchronous on-line modules and in-person journal clubs; (2) experiential training: direct, longitudinal care of a patient panel at a weight management clinic; and (3) professional development: completion of the professional requirements for the OM board certification. PROGRAM EVALUATION: Eighteen residents participated in the pathway and completed pre- and post-pathway surveys. The pathway resulted in an increase in self-reported confidence and practice patterns in OM management. One hundred percent ranked their confidence as high/moderate for the clinical skills of counseling on diet and nutrition and prescribing anti-obesity medications. Eighty-three percent of the residents felt they would likely/very likely sit for the OM board exam. DISCUSSION: This novel comprehensive OM pathway showed increased self-reported physician confidence and obesity management behaviors among IM residents. Additionally, the professional development component will be a promising avenue to prepare residents to become obesity board certified.
