Gender diversity in chiropractic leadership: a cross-sectional study.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe purpose of this cross-sectional study was to compare the number of males and females in leadership positions, and whether there is a relationship between gender and degrees held in those positions, within chiropractic academic institutions, national regulatory bodies and the most widely representative national professional associations in the United States and Canada.
methodsPublicly accessible websites from chiropractic institutions and organizations were used to collect data. Pearson χ
resultsA total of 107 leaders were identified across institutions and organizations. Under one-third of leaders (30.8%) were identified as female. Males were more likely to be in principal leadership roles (86.2%) and more likely to be in a secondary leadership position (62.8%).
conclusionMale leaders significantly outnumber female leaders in both principal and secondary leadership positions within American and Canadian chiropractic institutions. Strategies should be developed to include gender diversity within all chiropractic organizations.
