Characterizing Asian American medical students' experiences with microaggression and the impact on their well-being.
Review in Medical education online, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThis mixed-methods study quantified and characterized incidents of microaggressions experienced by Asian American medical students. The authors report on their impact and suggest improvements to create a more equitable and supportive learning environment.
methodQuantitative and qualitative data were collected from 305 participants who self-identified as Asian American or Pacific Islander. An online, anonymous survey was sent to US medical students through the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA). Questions explored incidence, characteristics of, and response to microaggressions. We conducted four focus groups to further characterize students' experiences. Data were organized and coded, and thematic analysis was used to identify core themes.
resultsRacial microaggressions were prevalent among Asian American medical students. Nearly 70% (
conclusionsAsian American medical students face high exposure to racial microaggressions during their medical education that adversely impact their mental health. Changes are needed in medical training to create a more equitable and inclusive learning environment.
