Allergy and immunology interest and exposure among US medical students and residents.
Article in The journal of allergy and clinical immunology. Global, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Despite the immense burden of allergic disease, the allergy and immunology (AI) workforce in the United States continues to shrink. Fellowship applications for AI have declined sharply in contrast to those in more popular specialties. Objectives: Here we have sought to evaluate the current level of AI interest and exposure among early trainees in the United States, as well as their perspective on how to improve interest in the field. Methods: An 18-item questionnaire was sent via e-mail list-serve to 2 groups: (1) mostly residents in the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) with interest in AI and (2) medical students in the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) whose specialty interests were not known. Results: In the AAAAI group, 412 members were surveyed and 70 responses were received. In the AMSA group, 4778 members were surveyed and 47 responses were received. More individuals in the AAAAI group interacted with their AI division than in the AMSA group (73% vs 19% [ Conclusions: Our study suggests that increasing AI opportunities for didactics and clinical exposure may lead medical students to develop more interest in pursuing the field. Some strategies are also discussed.
