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
Background: There are limited data regarding the gender preferences of Hispanic Americans when selecting their orthopedic surgeon. This study aimed to evaluate the gender preferences of Hispanic Americans when choosing a physician as their orthopedic provider. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to all consecutive Hispanic American patients treated at the outpatient orthopedic clinics of a tertiary medical center in Puerto Rico between October 4, 2019 and March 4, 2020. Sociodemographic status and opinion of gender preference in orthopedic surgery were assessed and analyzed between female and male respondents. Results: A total of 628 surveys were completed. There were 343 (54.6%) females and 285 (45.4%) males with an average age of 51.0 ± 13.0 years. A significantly higher portion of female respondents was widowed ( Conclusions: This study illustrates that Hispanic Americans have no gender preference when choosing an orthopedic provider. Therefore, patient preference should not be considered a factor contributing to women's under-representation in our orthopedic surgery training program. Our findings may also assist future studies in search of other indications attributed to the under-representation of females in this field.
