1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 The relevance and importance of using racial and ethnic categories in medical education is an area requiring richer discussion and engagement among all health professions educators. Objectives There is a genuine need to identify opportunities for leveraging social and structural determinants of health to address health disparities within medical education. We designed a focus session led by a team of diverse clinical and basic science faculty to analyze how medical curricula can integrate racial/ethnic identity as a clinical indicator. We sought to develop strategies to empower medical students and teachers to integrate race as a social rather than a biological construct. Methods The 90-minute focus session included an interactive presentation reviewing the literature related to the use of racial identity in medical education, small group case-based discussions in breakout rooms, a large group debrief, and an optional activity for participants to apply the knowledge gained. The study was approved by the Nova Southeastern University Institutional Review Board (IRB #: 2021-185-NSU). Results Thirty-three participants attended the session at the 2021 International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) Conference. Eleven (33%) participated in both pre-session and post-session surveys. Survey data revealed significant pre-/post-changes in the knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of using race in medical education. Qualitative data indicated that participants acquired new knowledge related to the integration of racial identity as a clinical indicator and they were willing to incorporate strategies learned into their teaching. Conclusion Our study data suggests that this focus session equipped faculty with new knowledge and resources to effectively incorporate racial/ethnic identity into medical school curricula to increase awareness of healthcare disparities.
