Closing the gap: the evolving landscape of integrative oncology education in the United States.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Integrative oncology (IO), an evidence informed field that uses mind-body practices, natural products, and lifestyle modification alongside conventional cancer care, has entered a new phase of educational development. The Society for Integrative Oncology-American Society of Clinical Oncology joint clinical practice guidelines on pain, anxiety/depression, and fatigue have sharpened the need for an oncology workforce prepared to counsel patients on evidence-based integrative therapies. Historically, formal integrative oncology-specific training has been sparse, as seen in a published national needs assessment citing that 85.4% of oncology physicians, fellows, and program directors had little or no prior training in integrative medicine in 2022. However, this educational landscape has begun to change rapidly. The Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine and Health now recognize oncology-specific fellowships, with two board eligible physician fellowship programs now available in the US: the Integrative Medicine in Hematology Oncology fellowship and the Integrative Oncology Scholars Program. Additionally, the (IOS) program offers a multi-disciplinary certificate track. Multiple continuing IO medical education programs have been launched across leading cancer centers, and a comprehensive IO textbook has recently been published. This narrative review maps the current IO educational infrastructure in the United States for physicians, examines competency frameworks and emerging need for curriculum standards for multiple professions, catalogues available resources, identifies persistent barriers to workforce development, and proposes priorities for the field's next phase.
