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
STUDY
objectivesTo investigate gender distribution of US sleep professionals who received major recognition awards over a 40-year period from the 2 national sleep societies: the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society.
methodsWe reviewed and analyzed the publicly available lists of sleep recognition awards recipients from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society websites. The primary outcome measures were the overall proportion of individual sleep recognition awards given to US men and women sleep professionals and the trend over time (1981-2020) analyzed by decade using the Cochran-Armitage test.
resultsSeven major sleep recognition awards (4 by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and 3 by the Sleep Research Society) were identified over 40 years. There were overall 164 individual sleep recognition awards presented by the 2 sleep societies to US sleep professionals, including 136 (82.9%) awarded for men and only 28 (17.1%) awarded for women. The analysis of the sleep recognition awards over time by decade revealed a significant increasing trend (
conclusionsUS women sleep professionals were historically underrepresented in major sleep recognition awards, with a reduction in the gender gap in the last 10 years. The reasons behind gender inequality in sleep recognition awards remain unclear and deserve further investigation. CITATION: Naime S, Karroum EG.
