Just in Time Training for Internal Medicine Residents to Initiate State-Mandated Waiting Periods for Abortion Care.
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
backgroundPrimary care providers may be patients' first contact for unwanted pregnancy. In states with mandatory waiting periods for abortion, training internal medicine (IM) residents to initiate these waiting periods may reduce barriers to abortion care.
aimTo develop and evaluate the feasibility and early implementation signals of a brief, cognitively optimized training enabling IM residents to recall and initiate Pennsylvania's mandatory waiting period. SETTING/
participantsFifty-four IM residents participated across four sessions as part of regularly scheduled educational programming. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: We developed an electronic medical record (EMR) smart phrase checklist for initiating the state-mandated waiting period. We delivered the training session on abortion law and checklist use four times, incorporating resident feedback after each session. PROGRAM EVALUATION: Evaluation focused on feasibility and short-term learning (embedded knowledge questions, participant feedback), with EMR smart phrase use as an exploratory uptake signal over 5 months. Findings revealed knowledge gaps about state abortion law. Residents requested additional information in the first three sessions, but not the fourth. Six smart phrase users published EMR notes using the checklist. Two residents initiated the waiting period outside EMR capture. DISCUSSION: This training was feasible to implement and supported learners' ability to recall and access a workflow-embedded tool.
