Showing Up is Still Resistance: Contextualizing Black Trainee Resistance in Medical Education.
Article in Perspectives on medical education, 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
This commentary amplifies the contributions of Horton et al.'s study on Black physician trainees' professional resistance, situating it within the broader landscape of health professions education (HPE). As Black women physician-educators, we reflect on the profound resonance of the study's themes-resistance as survival, as existence, and as professionalism. Horton et al. employ Endarkened Storywork and Black quilting to not only document Black trainee experiences but to disrupt conventional research paradigms that marginalize their truths. This commentary argues that their work challenges the field to reimagine equity by centering marginalized voices, redefining resistance as a daily, embodied practice, and questioning research frameworks rooted in whiteness. We emphasize the urgency of methodological transformation in HPE and the ethical imperative to design and interpret data in ways that affirm rather than exploit minoritized communities. By framing the acts of showing up, mentoring, and refusing assimilation as legitimate resistance, this work redefines professionalism and provides a roadmap for institutional accountability. To advance equity, educators and researchers must not only study resistance-they must practice it.
