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

African Americans are still underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers. This fact has had profoundly negative impacts on both the lives and fortunes of African Americans, as well as our society as a whole. This pattern of underrepresentation does not result from an inherent mental deficiency or lack of interest in science by African Americans. Rather, this results from historical and ongoing discrimination against this group throughout American society. This paper recounts this discrimination in the context of society as a whole and higher education with a specific emphasis on STEM careers in biology and organismal biology in particular. It offers concrete recommendations for changing the enterprise of science such that it can foster greater inclusion of African Americans via the support for and expansion of the capacity of Historically Black Universities and Colleges (HBCUs).
