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

backgroundUnderstanding the demographics and scholarly merit among National Institutes of Health (NIH) award recipients can help guide future applicants in the field of dermatology.

objectiveHerein, we aimed to explore gender gaps in NIH award recipient demographics and scholarly merits for dermatology-related projects.

methodsProjects funded by the National Institutes of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases between 2015 and 2019 related to dermatology were extracted using the NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools database. The number of publications and h-index of each award recipient were collected using the Scopus database. The 2019 Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research report was used to determine the top 20 NIH-funded dermatology departments/divisions.

resultsBetween 2015 and 2019, there were 35.1% more unique male than unique female recipients. Award recipients had an average of 116.7 total publications and an average h-index of 37.1. However, men also had more than half as many publications and a >37% higher average h-index. Gender gaps in research merit, as well as number and type of awards, are reduced among recipients affiliated with a top 20 NIH-funded institution.

conclusionA higher number of awards were granted to male recipients. Men had a higher mean publication number and h-index compared with their female counterparts. Increased support, resources, and mentorship opportunities to women in research may help mitigate these gaps.
