Young Adults' Perspectives on Healthcare Workforce Diversity and Communication: Implications for Orthopedic Practice.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 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
Purpose: To examine young adults' perspectives on healthcare workforce diversity, representation, language, and trust, and consider their relevance to orthopedic communication and workforce development. Methods: We conducted an anonymous cross-sectional online survey of 100 U.S. adults aged 18-25 years using an 18-item questionnaire with multiple-choice, multiple-response, and open-ended items. Descriptive statistics and exploratory subgroup comparisons were performed. Results: Eighty-nine percent of respondents rated healthcare-workforce diversity as at least somewhat important, and 91% believed it improves health outcomes to some extent. Language was the most frequently selected aspect of diversity affecting care (78%), and 95% reported that language barriers negatively affect care to some degree. Medical expertise (84%), communication ability (77%), and respect/empathy (72%) were the most commonly selected drivers of trust; 82% reported greater comfort with a clinician who shared aspects of their background or experience. Eighty-three percent perceived barriers affecting underrepresented groups entering healthcare careers. Conclusions: Young adults valued communication, cultural understanding, and representation while prioritizing clinical expertise. These findings identify potential questions for orthopedic language-access and mentorship initiatives; applicability to orthopedic patients and trainees requires direct study.
