Gap Year Research Fellowship Opportunities for Medical Students Interested in Orthopaedic Surgery.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionOrthopaedic surgery is becoming an increasingly competitive specialty. The purpose of this study was to identify existing orthopaedic research fellowships in the United States and to determine important characteristics including the number of positions offered by each program and the average number of publications from completing the program.
methodsAn online search was performed to identify year-long orthopaedic research fellowship programs available for medical students and recent medical school graduates. The number of positions per program and average number of publications of recent program graduates were also obtained.
resultsA total of 30 research fellowship programs were identified throughout the United States (13 in the northeast; six in the south; nine in the midwest; and two in the west) that are offered consistently each year. The average number of fellows per program was 3.1 (range 1 to 10) and the average number of publications was 10.8 (range 2 to 20).
conclusionAt least 30 orthopaedic research fellowships in the United States are available to students who are looking to acquire more research experience and strengthen their application for orthopaedic residency. These fellowships can help medical students increase their probability of matching into orthopaedics through publications, networking, and clinical exposure.
