Incorporating Dis/ability Studies and Critical Race Theory to combat systematic exclusion of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in clinical neuroscience.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This article reviews some of the ideological forces contributing to the systematic exclusion of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in clinical neuroscience. Limitations of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and other methods systematically exclude individuals with coarse or curly hair and darker skin. Despite these well-known limitations, clinical neuroscience manuscripts frequently fail to report participant race or ethnicity or reasons for excluding participants. Grounding the discussion in Dis/ability Studies and Critical Race Theory (DisCrit), we review factors that exacerbate exclusion and contribute to the multiple marginalization of BIPOC, including (a) general methodological issues, (b) perceptions about race and disability, and (c) underreporting of methods. We also present solutions. Just as scientific practices changed in response to the replication crisis, we advocate for greater attention to the crisis of underrepresentation in clinical neuroscience and provide strategies that serve to make the field more inclusive.
