Program development and evaluation of a health equity education for undergraduate medical students in Japan: a pre-post study design.

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
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals in Japan experience significant health disparities. While Western curricula devote multiple hours to structured SGM health modules, Japanese medical schools offer only about 1 h, leaving future providers underprepared. This study aims to 1) develop a health equity education program on SGM for medical undergraduates in Japan, 2) assess the program's effects while considering empathy levels and SGM identities, and 3) evaluate participant satisfaction with the program. A 3-h educational program was integrated into a psychology course for undergraduate freshmen within the faculty of medicine. Utilizing a pretest-posttest single-group design, the study evaluated outcomes through validated self-report measures and a satisfaction survey. ANOVA models examined the program effects on the awareness of inequities faced by SGM groups and attitudes towards them, while considering the moderating roles of empathy and SGM identities. Descriptive statistics examined program satisfaction. Among 112 participants (mean age 18.5 years, SD = 0.6), 2.7% identified as SGM, with 15.2% unsure. Awareness of SGM health disparities significantly increased from pre to postintervention (
