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

Background: The American College of Cardiology (ACC) launched the Clinical Trials Research (CTR) program in 2019 to increase representation of historically underrepresented early-career investigators in cardiovascular research. In 2024, ACC introduced REACH (Research, Equity, and Access for Cardiac Health), a new subcohort within CTR focused on addressing disparities in structural heart disease research and recruitment. This analysis aimed to evaluate the diversity of the 2024-2025 CTR and REACH cohorts and assesses the program's short-term impact on research engagement, mentorship, and professional development. Methods: This was a cross-sectional voluntary survey of 22 items offered to all participants following completion of the program in March 2025. Responses were collected anonymously to ensure confidentiality, with data encrypted during transit and stored securely. Results: Among the 2024-2025 ACC CTR cohort, 48 of 51 participants (94.1%) completed the survey, with equal sex distribution (50% women, 50% men) and 25% identifying as Hispanic. Reported short-term outcomes included 52% gaining new mentorship outside their institution, 23% receiving speaking invitations to national meetings, 81% forming new collaborations, and 79% identifying new research opportunities. In the ACC CTR REACH cohort, 60% reported new external mentorship, 40% received national speaking invitations, 60% formed collaborations, and 88% accessed at least 1 new research opportunity. Conclusions: The 2024-2025 ACC CTR and REACH programs fostered mentorship, collaboration, and research engagement among early-career investigators while advancing diversity in sex and ethnicity.
