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

Assessment and grading are prone to disparities based on race and ethnicity. Health professions educators need a guide for how to strategically navigate assessment data. This monograph provides a consensus-driven advisory guide, drawing upon common challenges schools face when detecting, measuring, and analyzing gender/racial disparities, and shares practical algorithms and strategies for engaging with the data. Five steps are proposed: create a process diagram; identify assessment data sources and potential manifestations of disparities and inequities in assessments; consider other variables when analyzing data; choose analytical approaches to evaluate sources of disparities; and identify potential threats and challenges.
