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

•The implementation of multi-level modifications, including but not limited to outreach initiatives and the development of a holistic application review approach, are potential strategies to improve diversity and inclusivity in general surgery residency recruitment.•We encourage program directors to invest in trainees' success and implement human capital changes that produce sustinable and effective changes, and help in building the pipeline.•Program directors are encouraged to work with their institutions to develop a holistic review approach through the following initiatives: recruitment of an inclusive and diverse interview selection committee, implementation of implicit bias training among all faculty and residents participating in the selection process, and promotion of structured interviews that focus on applicant characteristics that resonate with the program's mission statement.
