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

backgroundGraduate medical education (GME) on diversity, equity, and inclusion rarely teaches strategies for developing anti-racist mindsets and behaviors, and understanding of the impact of these programs and particular curricular components is lacking.

objectiveTo evaluate the format, content, and impact of a longitudinal anti-racism conference series (ARC) on resident physicians within an urban internal medicine program through a qualitative analysis, with the goal of informing the development and implementation of other evidence-based anti-racism curricula in graduate medical education (GME).

designThe ARC consisted of eight mandatory, 60-min virtual conferences held between August 2020 and June 2021 within an internal medicine residency program's primary care track sub-group. The conference's content synthesized previous anti-racism curricula, scholarly readings, and practical experiences, and emphasized internal reflection and behavior change.

participantsThirty internal medicine resident physicians and six faculty members. MAIN MEASURES: Seven voluntary, semi-structured, hour-long focus groups were conducted to document resident perspectives on the ARC's format, content, and impact of the curriculum on learner's professional and personal development. Constructivist grounded theory was used to analyze resident responses. KEY

resultsIn total, 17/30 (57%) residents participated in focus groups. Analysis of course format, content, and impact revealed the following: (1) The most valued aspect of the course's instructional format was its perceived psychological safety. (2) Residents desired course content with more outward action steps than were offered. (3) Residents noted personal and professional impact across three main domains: intrapersonal, interpersonal, and institutional.

conclusionsIn this longitudinal GME internal medicine anti-racism curriculum, participants felt that the curriculum format provided safe spaces to engage with topics on systemic racism and patient care, but content lacked sufficient action-oriented strategies. The curriculum's impact was multi-dimensional and could be studied more deeply in the future through simulation or direct observation.
