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

Youth Enjoy Science (YES) Oklahoma (OK) Scholars is an eight-week summer program that engages American Indian high school students in cancer and biomedical research. YES OK uses a relational, place-informed educational model, with a curriculum that emphasizes (1) increasing cancer biology and public health knowledge, (2) developing laboratory and scientific communication skills, (3) strengthening college and career preparation, and (4) connecting scientific learning to cultural and community contexts. YES OK Scholars offers two university courses for general education credit and integrates on- campus lectures and laboratory research experiences, with virtual instruction to increase accessibility. Long-term sustainability is supported through near-peer and community networks, where current and former Scholars contribute to recruitment, mentorship, and community engagement. Implementing a place-informed curriculum posed logistical and institutional challenges; however, through ongoing program adjustments, partnership development, and new partnerships, YES OK developed an ethically transferable framework for increasing Indigenous student participation in cancer research. This paper reports outcomes and implementation challenges since program inception.
