Caring for Children in Immigrant Families and Children in Low-Income Families: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Pediatric Residents.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. 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: One in four US children live in immigrant families, and 16% of US children live in poverty. To provide optimal medical care for these populations, additional knowledge and skills are needed. It is unknown whether residency training is adequately preparing physicians to care for these populations. We surveyed pediatric residents to understand if training on the needs of children in immigrant and low-income families was associated with self-reported preparedness and plans to care for these populations. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in a large midwestern pediatric residency. Questions related to resident demographics, exposure to specific curricular components, future career plans, and residents' report of feeling prepared to care for children in immigrant families and children in low-income families. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Fisher's exact test. Results: Of 158 potential responses, 96 completed surveys were analyzed (61% response rate). Residents had been interested in training programs that would allow them to care for children in immigrant families (76%) and children in low-income families (93%). Most residents (89%) felt prepared to care for children in low-income families. Fewer residents (59%) felt prepared to care for children in immigrant families. Exposure to global health lectures (p = 0.04) and cultural humility training (p = 0.02) and other global health topics was associated with residents reporting feeling prepared to care for children in immigrant families. Residents whose future career plan included care for children in immigrant families or international populations were more likely to be exposed to elective global health training opportunities. Conclusion: Pediatric residents are interested in caring for children in low-income and immigrant families. Exposure to specific global health and cultural humility training sessions was associated with feeling that residency prepared them to care for children in immigrant families and implementation of similar training into residency programs should be considered to improve care for immigrant families in the US.
