Misapplication of Race in Editorial Decisions: Navigating Ethical Dilemmas in Case Reporting.
Article in Journal of Brown hospital medicine, 2025. 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
The inclusion of race in medical research has a complicated and troubling history. For centuries, medical institutions and medical research contributed to racist beliefs and have been used to justify a racial caste system. Academic clinicians today must intentionally address the inclusion of race and racism in scholarly work to avoid perpetuating the sins of our profession's past. In this perspective, we recount an experience in which a journal reviewer inappropriately requested the inclusion of race in a case report and share the lessons our team learned in navigating the situation. We also explore the nuanced role of race in research, offer best practices for its inclusion in manuscript submissions, and provide sample language for addressing inappropriate requests for race-related content.
