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
backgroundInvited speakerships, such as speaking at grand rounds, are part of the pathway to promotion in academic medicine. This project sought to evaluate if the gender of invited grand rounds speakers at a major academic institution were distributed as expected based on the specialty workforce. MATERIALS AND
methodsArchived lists of speakers for grand rounds for the Mayo Clinic Department of Anesthesiology were obtained from 2007 through 2018. The Cochran-Armitage test and logistic regression models were used to analyze the change in proportion of invited women speakers over time. One-sample proportion tests were conducted to compare the proportion of women speakers to the expected percentage of available women speakers based on gender data from national organizations.
resultsOf the 122 invited external speakers, 28 (23%) were women. Men invited 104/122 (85.2%) of all the speakers, of which 21 (20.2%) were women speakers. There was not significant evidence the proportion of women speakers increased over time ( DISCUSSION: The percentage of women invited to be grand rounds speakers did not increase over the study period. Intentional measures should be instituted to increase the proportion of women grand rounds speakers.
