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

Racial and ethnic health inequities are pervasive in the US healthcare system and affect individuals at all stages of life. These inequities are the result of racism and not due to biology. Racism is a multi-level system that embodies institutional, structural, interpersonal, and internalized racism. Racism in the healthcare setting creates hierarchies of power based on the social construct of race that impact opportunity, access, quality, and experiences of minoritized individuals. Most interventions to address health inequity in the healthcare setting target individual-level racism, but this has largely been ineffective in closing the equity gap. Few interventions have been developed to target structural and institutional racism. This may in part be due to a lack of healthcare-specific tools that can identify targets for intervention at the structural and institutional level. In this article, we report the development of the Healthcare Racial Justice Assessment Tool (HC-RJAT), a novel tool specifically designed to identify modifiable loci of structural and institutional racism within the healthcare setting to guide equity-focused interventions.
