Harnessing storytelling with medical students and community members to build curiosity and trust: A mixed methods evaluation of a pilot intervention.
Article in PEC innovation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Background: Mistrust of medical providers disproportionately affects individuals from racialized communities. Mistrust of providers negatively influences willingness to seek care, which exacerbates health disparities. Patient-centered communication can mitigate this mistrust. Objective: To assess the impact of a three-hour pilot workshop entitled Methods: Medical students completed the Self-Efficacy in Patient-Centeredness Questionnaire (SEPCQ-27) before, after, and one-month post-participation in the workshop, while community members completed two sub-scales of the Collaboration Trust Scale at the same time points. Community members also participated in focus group discussions approximately one week after workshop completion. Focus group transcripts were analyzed using the Social Cognitive Theory. Results: Median medical student SEPCQ-27 score increased 18 % pre to post-workshop ( Conclusion: The Storytelling workshop may build trust between patients from historically marginalized communities and medical practitioners. Innovation: This is the first evaluation of a trust-building intervention that brings both medical providers and potential patients together in one room.
