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

The USA is experiencing a reckoning with racial injustice and graduate medical education programs are seeking ways to address this important topic in training. Fellows in hematology/oncology at the University of North Carolina recognized this important gap and adapted a curriculum for medical residents on racial equity to a subspecialty audience. Aims were (1) to improve knowledge and awareness about implicit bias and systemic racism and (2) introduce methods to address racial inequities. We used lived experiences and collated materials from scientific literature and lay media to illustrate key points. The course explored the effects of implicit bias on individual, clinical, and health system levels, anchored in Kahneman's two-system theory. Videos, journal articles, and group discussion were employed to appeal to many learning styles. A post-curriculum survey assessed perceptions of racial inequality in medicine and the series' effects using a Likert scale. Twenty-nine participants completed the survey (12 fellows), 71% reported improved awareness of racial inequities, and 61% reported improved comfort level in addressing racial inequities. All participants recognized at least "some" racial inequity in medicine, and over 75% of participants indicated interest in further sessions. Formulation of an educational curriculum by fellows and delivered in a division-wide setting was feasible and well received by participants, filling a key educational gap. We encourage other institutions to take similar steps to highlight issues of systemic racism and move our field in the right direction.
