Steps to embedding equality, diversity, and inclusion principles into research settings.
Article in Research involvement and engagement, 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
backgroundEmbedding Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) principles within the NHS and its research infrastructure is vital to foster inclusive and respectful environments and teams. We focus on the importance of delivering tailored and in-person staff training on pertinent EDI topics for this, as it promotes team building, social understanding, and collaboration. This approach was undertaken with meaningful and sustained input from Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) members who formed part of an EDI working group to advise on the content and delivery of each training session. This paper explores the implementation of staff training sessions and EDI working group meetings, termed the 'EDI initiative' at King's Clinical Research Facility (CRF). We concentrate on co-production methods in collaboration with PPI members.
methodsThe initiative included a survey with quantitative and qualitative questions assessing staff knowledge and confidence in EDI topics, the formation of an EDI working group, and co-designed training sessions addressing priority areas identified in the survey. A follow-up mixed-methods survey, distributed 12 months after the implementation of the initiative, measured the impact of each session.
resultsResponses to the initial survey identified four key training priorities: (i) Raising Concerns Comfortably, (ii) Cultural Intelligence, (iii) Trans* Awareness and Unconscious Bias, and (iv) Health Inequalities. Training sessions were conducted over nine months, with a follow-up survey revealing increased confidence in raising concerns (95.5%) and improved cultural awareness (95.3%). However, some participants reported challenges in applying their knowledge, highlighting the need for ongoing reinforcement.
conclusionThis initiative demonstrates the value of co-produced EDI training in research settings. Findings emphasise the importance of interactive learning, reflection, and sustained engagement in fostering inclusive research environments.
