Factors Impacting Scholarship Delay for Early Career URiM Faculty in Academic Medicine.
Review in Family medicine, 2025. 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesAcademic advancement requires scholarship productivity. Faculty underrepresented in medicine (URiM) face unique challenges that hinder their scholarship productivity. We introduce the term "scholarship delay" as a phenomenon that affects early career academic faculty and describe what is known in the literature about this phenomenon among URiM faculty.
methodsFor the narrative review, we searched PubMed between November 2023 and September 2024 for articles describing URiM publication productivity. Out of 2,351 initial results, we included articles published between 2000 and 2024 and produced in the United States. After excluding articles based on title and abstract content, we thoroughly examined 43 articles and selected 33 for this review. We included primary research articles including survey studies, literature reviews, and demographic data analyses.
resultsFactors that mediate scholarship delay exist prior to one becoming a faculty member; URiM faculty and trainees are disproportionately affected. Several mediating factors cause scholarship delay, including lack of strong research mentorship and sponsorship, lack of protected time toward scholarly pursuits, and competing clinical responsibilities. Additionally, URiM faculty can suffer from unsupportive institutional cultures that lack resources or infrastructure to help them thrive in the production of scholarly work.
conclusionsScholarship delay is a significant and underreported phenomenon that affects early career URiM academic faculty and trainees. Solutions that may help mitigate this issue include rectifying barriers at the individual and institutional level prior to and during one's journey as a faculty member.
