Transforming academic public health mentorship: implementation and expansion of MOSAIC.

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
Persistent systemic inequities disproportionately impact BIPOC, first-generation, and international students in graduate public health education. Despite institutional diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments, these students frequently encounter structural barriers such as limited mentorship, inadequate faculty representation, marginalization, and restricted access to academic resources. The Mentoring of Students and Igniting Community (MOSAIC) program addresses these inequities through structured faculty-student group mentorship, professional development, and peer support networks. Recognizing mentorship's vital role in fostering academic success and identity affirmation, MOSAIC employs a socio-ecological approach, systematically targeting barriers across macro, meso, and micro levels to cultivate inclusive academic environments. This manuscript describes the adaptation and implementation of MOSAIC within the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences (DPPHS) at the University of Southern California (USC), emphasizing support for doctoral students. MOSAIC's USC adaptation integrates institutional commitment, targeted funding, and dedicated faculty leadership, explicitly engaging faculty who share identities with students. Through structured mentorship programming, responsive student-driven workshops, and community-building activities, MOSAIC aims to facilitate career preparedness, demystify the hidden curriculum, and enhance students' overall well-being and belonging. In its first year, MOSAIC at USC engaged 15 to 20 doctoral students, and strengthened faculty engagement with anti-racist pedagogy and mentorship. The initiative bridged doctoral programs within DPPHS, promoting inter-program collaboration and fostering a supportive, inclusive community. Early feedback from students indicates improved institutional climate perceptions, stronger mentor-student relationships, increased academic self-efficacy, and reduced isolation among participants. The successful USC adaptation demonstrates MOSAIC's transferability and underscores structured mentorship's potential for catalyzing broader institutional transformation. The manuscript offers detailed insights and a replicable programmatic framework, guiding institutions seeking to adopt the MOSAIC program. By embedding anti-oppressive strategies and striving for sustained institutional commitment, MOSAIC contributes significantly to reshaping public health education toward equity, inclusivity, and justice-oriented mentorship, ultimately preparing a diverse workforce to address complex public health challenges.
