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

backgroundResidency programs are responsible for ensuring that trainees understand and are able to address health disparities. Despite this requirement, individual residency training programs face challenges in achieving this aim. However, graduate medical education (GME) offices have the potential to overcome these barriers.

objectiveTo describe the development and implementation of a GME-wide virtual health equity orientation workshop and self-reported learner outcomes.

methodsIncoming residents participated in a GME-wide virtual health equity orientation workshop in June 2023 and completed pre-, post-workshop, and six-month post-workshop surveys. We used chi-squared tests and Fisher exact tests as appropriate to compare pre-post workshop scores for multiple choice questions and used rank-sum tests to compare pre-post self-assessed knowledge and confidence scores.

resultsThere were 234 residents who participated in the workshop and 80% of residents consented for their information to be included for research. There was a significant increase in self-assessed knowledge and confidence scores in the pre-post comparison, but self-assessed behavior scores fell to baseline at six months. Over 85% of incoming residents had previously received formal education on racism and discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation. However, only 62% had previously received formal education on ableism in medicine. Additionally, 94% of the participants found the workshop relevant to their needs, and 85% stated that they learned a new skill.

conclusionsA GME-wide orientation workshop designed to promote knowledge of health equity topics is feasible and well received. This workshop showed a positive impact in self-assessed knowledge and confidence but should be reinforced with longitudinal programming.
