1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionGlobal health originated from colonial and tropical medicine, which served the interests of colonial powers. Despite efforts to address this legacy, the field still faces challenges in unequal partnerships between high-income (HICs) and low-income and middle-income (LMICs) countries. Activists push for paradigm shifts emphasising health equity, decolonisation and partnerships based on solidarity and justice. The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth aligns with these movements, focusing its global health programmes on equity.

methodsThis study, employing ethnographic methods to centre the perspectives of learners at one of its partner institutions, the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali, identified key themes to enhance equity in global health medical education.

resultsThese themes yielded concrete actions at the student, curricular and institutional levels that should be undertaken to promote equity and justice in academic global health partnerships.

conclusionThe findings offer a tailored framework for fostering equitable and justice-oriented practices in future exchanges with potential applications to academic global health exchanges between HICs and LMICs more broadly.
