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

Health care professionals continue to observe disparities in interventional cardiology associated with patient race, sex, socioeconomic status, and rurality, and the lack of diversity in the specialty is likely a major contributor. A diverse workforce will improve access to care, patient satisfaction, treatment plan adherence, clinical outcomes, and the education of a culturally sensitive workforce. However, the current sociopolitical climate is challenging the rationale supporting a diverse workforce and the methods employed to achieve it. We maintain that enhancing diversity is a rate-limiting step to reducing disparities in care. In this review, we discuss current health care inequities, the evidence that diversity will improve equitable care, barriers to enhancing diversity, and strategies to promote a diverse interventional cardiology workforce.
