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
introductionJob satisfaction is a valuable good. However, literature on job satisfaction of female and male physicians, especially in the field of urology, is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate job satisfaction among female members of the German Society of Urology (DGU). MATERIALS AND
methodsAn online questionnaire was sent to 1343 female members of the DGU in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The responses of 521 female physicians were statistically analyzed regarding baseline characteristics and in relation to job satisfaction and satisfaction with the choice of specialty.
resultsThe median age of the participants was 37 (IQR 33; 45) years. While 91% of the respondents were rather or very satisfied with their choice of specialty-urology-only about 54% of the female urologists were satisfied with their job situation. Of the female urologists satisfied (vs. not satisfied) with their professional situation, 95% (vs. 87%) were also satisfied with their choice of urology as their specialty. Satisfaction with the working time model (odds ratio [OR] 9.61) and feeling unequal treatment (OR: 0.18) were independent predictors of satisfaction with the professional situation.
conclusionConsidering the increasing proportion of women in the health sector, it is important to identify factors influencing decisions on career and choice of specialty as well as career progression. Achieving career goals, increasing satisfaction with the working time model, and reducing unequal treatment or discrimination are central arguments for sustainably increasing the job satisfaction of female urologists.
