Trainee Experience With Racial Affinity Caucusing.
Article in Family medicine, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesRacial affinity caucusing (RAC) is a tool wherein participants gather in self-identified racial groups to learn and share experiences around race and racism. While used in many settings, little is known about the experience when used in graduate medical education (GME).
methodsIn this qualitative study, we explored graduate medical trainees' (resident/fellows) experiences participating in RAC. Participants recruited from a regional residency network participated in quarterly RAC during academic year 2021-2022. Of the 30 RAC (19 White, 11 Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color [BIPOC]) participants, 8 (1 White, 7 BIPOC; 27%) agreed to participate in our qualitative study and were interviewed by study team members who shared their BIPOC identity. We used a direct content analysis approach to analyze and compare interview transcripts.
resultsKey themes regarding their experience of RAC included having a safe space and a space for self-reflection.
conclusionsWhile our study was limited by its small sample size, results suggest that RAC can be an impactful tool for GME, particularly to address gaps in self-reflection and professional identity formation. Institutes should encourage RAC within their GME curriculum.
