Restorative Justice Practices as a Foundation for Medical Education Innovation.

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
backgroundRestorative justice (RJ) is an ethical lens that places emphasis on a community's connection and proliferative impact of actions, promoting communication and establishing methods for accountability. RJ practices can be applied on a spectrum, including proactive community-building practices, community discussions in response to an event, and restorative conferences addressing specific incidences of harm. This article describes an intervention that utilized RJ community-building practices within a medical education environment and evaluates its acceptability and feasibility. APPROACH: During the summer of 2023, RJ interventions were planned, executed and assessed within two programmes involving pre-matriculant medical students, physician-assistant studies students and undergraduate students. The interventions utilized community-building circles within small group activities. Capacity building included training for facilitators. Ninety-five students participated in the RJ circles. EVALUATION: Evaluation included mixed methods pre- and post-intervention surveys as well as qualitative interviews. Ten students (11%) responded to the pre-intervention survey, and 17 responded to the post-intervention survey (18%). Seven responses were obtained from interviews and qualitative surveys. Overall, participant survey responses indicated increased feelings of connection and perceptions of mutual understanding and that the programme provided adequate space to share one's perspective. Qualitative content analysis emphasized community building through RJ circles and their ability to promote connection, meaningful vulnerability, foster peer support and a desire to continue these activities. IMPLICATIONS: RJ interventions within medical education environments are feasible and show considerable promise. Participants consistently noted the benefits of greater connection between peers, feelings of support and a desire for these practices to continue.
