Parental leave during pediatric fellowship training: A national survey.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundUntil recently, no uniform requirements for parental leave (PL) existed in graduate medical education. We implemented a national survey, with the objective of ascertaining fellows' perceptions of PL policies and their impact. This is the first study to focus exclusively on pediatric subspecialty fellows.
methodsAn online survey instrument was created targeting pediatric fellows.
resultsThe survey was accessed by 1003 (25%) of the estimated 4078 pediatric subspecialty fellows and 853 (21%) submitted surveys. Respondent demographic data paralleled the data reported by the American Board of Pediatrics. Half of respondents did not know whether their program had a written PL policy. Over 40% reported ≥ 5 weeks of paid PL. Most indicated that fellows use vacation, sick leave, and unpaid time for PL. Almost half of respondents (45%) indicated that their program's PL policy increases the stress of having a child. Fellows chose establishing/extending paid leave and intentionally fostering a more supportive program culture as the most crucial candidate improvements. The importance of equitable PL polices between parent fellows and co-fellows was an important theme of our qualitative data. Fellows feel there is a moral misalignment between the field of pediatrics' dedication to maternal and child health and current PL policies governing pediatric trainees.
conclusionsPL policies vary widely among pediatric fellowship programs and are often not known by fellows. Fellows are not satisfied with PL policies, which often exacerbate stress for new parents and burden their co-fellows. Targeted modification of several aspects of PL policies may improve their acceptance.
