Approaches for Measuring Inclusive Demographics Across Youth Enjoy Science Cancer Research Training Programs.
Article in Journal of STEM outreach, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Youth Enjoy Science Program (YES) funds initiatives to support the cancer research training and career ambitions of middle school through undergraduate students from populations underrepresented in the biomedical sciences. The program has funded 16 institutions nationally as of January 2022. Given the program's focus on increasing diversity within the cancer research workforce, demographic characteristics of YES trainees provide essential information about the populations being served and program effectiveness. Six programs formed an interest group focused on trainee demographics and surveyed all YES grantees about their demographic data practices. Fifteen programs (94%) completed the survey. Survey data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and thematic coding. Findings revealed considerable variability in programs' approach to demographic data, including which demographics were measured, how they were operationalized, and when and how the data were collected. Half of YES programs (53%) could report underrepresented populations in biomedical research among trainees using consistent definitions. Most programs described efforts to improve their demographic data practices; however, challenges remained for the vast majority. In consideration of these findings, we offer recommendations for inclusive demographic data practices to better define and retain underrepresented populations in biomedical sciences.
