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

Latin America is a highly diverse region comprised of populations with multiple intersecting identities. In this paper, we explore how race and ethnicity, immigration status, and sexual and gender minoritised status combine to affect entry into and advancement within clinical and scientific workforces in Latin America. Drawing upon intersectionality theory and existing evidence, we explain how individuals with multiple marginalised identities are particularly disadvantaged in accessing high-level positions and face barriers such as discrimination, poverty, and statistical omission. We also discuss that increasing diversity in the clinical and scientific workforces will likely benefit from system-level changes addressing educational and workplace inequality, creating mentorship opportunities, designing educational campaigns to reduce stigma and discrimination, and improving survey measures to better understand the diversity of populations. Prioritising diversity and inclusion in the clinical and scientific workforces can improve research and healthcare delivery, ultimately reducing existing economic and health inequities in the region.
