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
Cancer rehabilitation remains underutilized despite its value in addressing survivorship-related impairments. Early exposure to interdisciplinary cancer care, including oncology and physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), is limited, particularly for students underrepresented in medicine (URiM). This study evaluated the impact of a novel interdisciplinary workshop introducing oncology and cancer rehabilitation, designed specifically to address the persistent educational and workforce disparities faced by URiM students. A half-day, in-person workshop was conducted in April 2025 at a medical school in New York City. The curriculum included lectures, case-based learning, a procedural suturing session, and a mentorship panel. Pre- and post-workshop surveys assessed self-reported knowledge and confidence in oncology, cancer rehabilitation, and clinical skills. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and unpaired t-tests. Of 160 pre-workshop survey respondents, 94 attended, with 73 completing post-workshop surveys (77.6% response rate). Over half of participants identified as URiM (53.3%). Significant improvements (p < 0.001) were observed across key domains, including confidence in cancer diagnosis (5.6 to 58.9%), understanding oncologist responsibilities (18.1 to 68.5%), oncology-PM&R collaboration awareness (8.8 to 71.2%), and procedural confidence in suturing (12.5 to 63.0%). A single-day interdisciplinary workshop significantly improved knowledge and confidence in oncology and cancer rehabilitation among high school students. Such targeted early-exposure initiatives could enhance diversity, address educational disparities, and improve awareness in the cancer care workforce.
