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

introductionBias, privilege, microaggressions, and other forms of mistreatment negatively impact students' learning, professional development, wellness, and identity. Supporting Educational Excellence in Diversity (SEED) is an innovative faculty development curriculum co-founded and co-designed by medical students/trainees. SEED is unique given it provides vital yet practical communication tools and strategies to support cultural humility when navigating critical conversations related to diversity, inclusion, and harm.

objectiveThis curriculum helps faculty to identify, redress, and prevent mistreatment within clinical and non-clinical learning environments while cultivating cultural humility.

methodsSEED incorporated a sequential hybrid model approach through the use of interactive online modules, virtual asynchronous self-reflection assignments, followed by in-person discussions with role-play opportunities. Using novel tools, it taught faculty core knowledge and strategies to facilitate discussions in navigating harms related to diversity and inclusion. Authors measured impact via self-reported, de-identified pre-and-post questionnaires.

resultsAn idependent t-test analysis pre-post-test study of 67 faculty participants revealed statistically significant (P < .001) differences from pre to post on all items with one item statistically significant at a p < .05. The overall effect size was 1.65 showing significant improvement in participants' self-perceived ability to identify and address microaggressions, privilege, sources of bias, and related harm in the clinical and learning environments. These improvements were identified within themselves, faculty peers, teaching curricula, and teaching modalities. SEED was adopted health system-wide through customized departmental faculty offerings given the statistically and practically significant change in learning, awareness, and attitudes for respondents. SEED is currently under consideration as a maintenance of certification self-assessment course by a national board.

conclusionThe innovative SEED faculty development curriculum was co-created and designed by students/trainees. SEED shows promising results in improving participants' foundational learning in promoting inclusive change to enhance learning environments for healthcare trainees. SEED is unique in providing vital yet practical communication tools and strategies to support cultural humility when navigating critical conversations related to diversity, inclusion, and harm.
