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
Background: Medication abortion using mifepristone and misoprostol is safe and effective, yet few internal medicine (IM) physicians provide this care due to barriers such as stigma, institutional restrictions, and limited training. General deficits in reproductive health training have long been recognized in IM resident training, and gaps remain. Objective: To evaluate the implementation and outcomes of a medication abortion curriculum for IM residents at Cambridge Health Alliance, a Harvard-affiliated program, during the 2022-2023 academic year. Methods: A structured curriculum was developed in partnership between the IM and family medicine departments with 3 components: a 1-2-hour online module, a 70-minute in-person session, and a 3-hour clinical experience at a reproductive health clinic. Data were collected on curriculum participation rates and from online pre- and post-curriculum surveys. Surveys assessed residents' attitudes toward medication abortion, self-reported comfort with counseling and eligibility determination, and knowledge using a brief internally developed assessment. Results: Twenty-three of 24 residents (96%) completed ≥1 components. In the pre-survey, 79% (15 of 19) of residents indicated they would like to provide medication abortion services during residency if trained, and 74% (14 of 19) intended to incorporate it into their future practice. Post-survey results showed significant improvements in comfort with counseling on early abortion options (95% CI, 0.54-1.84; Conclusions: This curriculum significantly increased IM residents' comfort in providing medication abortion services over 6 months.
