Characterizing the Optimal Diversity Training Programs for Physicians: A Survey sponsored by Pacific Spine and Pain Society.
Article in Journal of pain research, 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
Introduction: Recently, increasing research has shown inferior outcomes in patients with respect to specific social determinants of health. Therefore, optimizing diversity training given to pain management providers is imperative for physicians to provide culturally competent healthcare and to improve patient outcomes. In this paper, we attempt to describe trends in the Pacific Spine and Pain Society (PSPS) membership to help discover optimal diversity education paradigms for pain management providers by performing a survey on behalf PSPS. Methods: A survey was disseminated to all members of the PSPS at the 2022 annual meeting. Opinions were solicited with respect to respondents' demographics, diversity training type, diversity training timing, and how this correlates with a respondent's self-reported confidence in navigating diversity issues in the workplace. Cronbach's alpha test was used to rate internal consistency while logistic regression models were used for statistical analysis. Results: Cronbach's alpha produced a rating of 0.91. A total of 164 individuals responded to the survey, with 115 (70%) being male and 98 (60%) did not consider themselves to be under-represented in medicine. Survey respondents who obtained diversity training post-fellowship (p = 0.004) and with interactive training type (p = 0.010) self-reported to be more confident in handling matters of diversity in the workplace. Respondents who were underrepresented (p = 0.018), females (p = 0.033), practice in the west coast (p = 0.036), academic practice (p=0.031), and non-rural areas (p = 0.033) were also found to be more confident in handling matters of diversity. Conclusion: Practitioners who received diversity training post-fellowship and with interactive and role model formats felt most confident to handle matters of diversity. Underrepresented groups, females, individuals from non-rural practices and individuals from academic practices appear to feel more confident in handling these issues.
