Matching into Plastic Surgery: Insights into the Data.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 58 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
Matching into plastic and reconstructive surgery residency, whether integrated or independent, is a competitive process. This article serves to examine, review, and summarize data published on both residency application processes. Through the results summarized, applicants should carefully review the objective and subjective factors used in evaluation to strategize how to make themselves as competitive as possible. Specifically, though, early review of the data presented may allow applicants time to focus on what modifiable factors still remain before their respective application seasons.
