Advancing Race-Conscious Medicine: Using Debate to Promote Critical Appraisal of Race in Medical Literature.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundSystemic racism has resulted in ongoing health disparities disproportionately affecting Black/Latinx patients. The use of race in medical literature can reinforce ideas of racially distinct mechanisms of illness and lead to differential treatment based on race classifications, further exacerbating inequities.
aimsThis study used an innovative debate-style curriculum to teach residents how to critically examine race in medical literature using an asthma clinical trial.
settingAmbulatory curriculum.
participantsOne hundred twenty-four internal medicine residents. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: A 90-min educational session included a brief article overview followed by a debate. Residents were assigned to an affirmative or opposing team to debate if studying only Black/Latinx patients in the trial was justified. The session concluded by reviewing how racism contributes to health disparities and clinical trial inequities with strategies to address these issues. PROGRAM EVALUATION: Pre/post-surveys assessed comfort discussing race, appraisal of race in medical literature, and perceived importance of SDOH in research. DISCUSSION: The debate-based session enhanced residents' comfort discussing race, promoted critical thinking and perspective-taking, and equipped them with tools to appraise race-consciousness in medical literature and clinical practice.
