Challenges Faced During Professional Preparation and Transition to Practice Among Diverse Early Professional Athletic Trainers.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
contextEarly professional (EP) athletic trainers (ATs) may encounter adjustments and develop individual identities to master a new role, which can be difficult while transitioning from student to autonomous professional. Previous literature lacks content about the transition to practice of credentialed ATs who identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC).
objectiveTo identify challenges during the professional education and transition to practice of EP ATs identifying as BIPOC.
designQualitative study.
settingVirtual interviews. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsFifteen recently credentialed ATs (13 women, 2 men; age = 26.73 ± 1.41 years, experience = 13.80 ± 4.03 months) who self-identified as BIPOC. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: We used an interview guide, validated by peer (n = 1) and expert (n = 3) review, to structure the data collection sessions. Data saturation guided recruitment, and we achieved theoretical redundancy after the final interview. We analyzed the data with a phenomenological approach and used multianalyst triangulation (n = 2) and peer review (n = 2) as credibility strategies.
resultsAll participants mentioned being victims of microaggressions because of their race during either their professional preparation, work environment, or both. Those who chose to report the incidents felt a lack of support from work supervisors, faculty, peers, and preceptors. Participants noted a preference for racially concordant mentoring to facilitate talking to a person who could better understand BIPOC EPs' experiences. Respondents also relied on outside support from friends and family as coping mechanisms. Finally, participants experienced perceived incompetency from supervisors due to their limited work experience as EPs and felt their professional preparation was stunted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
conclusionsParticipants perceived that their transition to practice was stressful due to the microaggressions encountered, a lack of support, and a lack of racially concordant mentoring. Diversity, equity, and inclusion training should be incorporated into athletic training education and workspaces to assist in providing more welcoming environments for BIPOC EP ATs and students.
