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

introductionCurrent research documents both the historical impact of racism in healthcare as well as studies piloting antiracist interventions as part of medical training to ameliorate its stigma, bias, and consequences in medicine. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively analyze the impact of a one session lecture surrounding racial issues in psychiatry on third-year medical students' thoughts and reflections surrounding the content. METHODOLOGY: Remote methodologies were used to engage medical students in a lecture created by a major University's Substance Use Disorder Center of Excellence to address the legacy of racial issues in psychiatry as well as present interventions. The team collected anonymous evaluations via anonymous chat submission after each lecture. Qualitative evaluation data were compiled from 108 students across 11 sessions over the course of a year. The team reviewed major and minor themes and synthesized following the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR) guidelines for qualitative reporting.

resultsWe identified the following five themes:1) appreciation and notes on the content itself; 2) how the information presented can impact future clinical care; 3) the interconnectedness of social determinants of health and racism; 4) recognizing power dynamics with patients; and 5) opportunities for future education.

conclusionInformation compiled both from participating students and the available literature can inform future education efforts to build opportunities for antiracist training in medical education.
