A "diversity and inclusion" lecture for promoting self-awareness among medical students.

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
purposeThe concept of 'diversity and inclusion' is being adopted worldwide, but it is not yet understood well in Japan. We conducted this study to evaluate the impact of a lecture aimed at increasing awareness of academic careers and the benefits of having diversity and inclusion.
methodsTwo female surgeons delivered a 120-min lecture on "diversity and inclusion" to third-year medical students at Tokushima University. To assess the impact of the lecture, a questionnaire was distributed, for participants to complete anonymously before and after the lecture.
resultsEighty-two students participated in the study (39 men, 38 women, and 5 unknown). Based on the questionnaire responses, 57.1% of the students had already perceived inequality in conduct because of gender. A comparison of pre- and post-lecture responses revealed a significant increase in confidence to succeed in their medical career (56.5% vs. 77.5%, p < 0.01). Learners were more likely to believe that gender would not become a barrier to career development (42.4% vs. 66.7%, p < 0.01). Moreover, 90.4% of the students felt positively about a career in surgery following the lecture.
conclusionThe lecture promoted awareness about diversity, self-awareness, and career development and motivated students to consider specializing in surgery later in their career.
