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

backgroundMentorship is crucial to physicians' professional development, with well-documented benefits. However, residents from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine (URiM) often face barriers to accessing high-quality mentorship. Despite this gap, few structured programs exist that deliberately tackle these barriers, leaving an important opportunity to enhance support for URiM trainees.

aimTo design and implement a multidimensional URiM mentorship program.

settingBrigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) Internal Medicine Residency.

participantsURiM residents. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The core components of the URiM mentorship program are personalized dyadic pairings, mentorship communities, speed mentoring, and mentorship trainings, especially across differences. PROGRAM EVALUATION: In 2024, a residency-wide mentorship survey compared the URiM Mentorship Program to the Usual Mentorship Program offered to all other residents. DISCUSSION: Of the 49 survey respondents, 31 were in the Usual Mentorship Program and 18 in the URiM Mentorship Program. In the URiM Program, 94% viewed their mentor as primary or part of their network, versus 39% in the Usual Program. Satisfaction with faculty assignments was 83% in the URiM Program compared to 48% in the Usual Program. The URiM Mentorship Program demonstrated stronger mentor-mentee connections and greater satisfaction, underscoring the benefits of a structured approach to mentorship.
