Funding a general surgery residency academic development time program.
Article in American journal of surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundTo encourage progression of surgeon scientists amongst increasingly limited funding, academic interest, training institutions are supporting mid-training academic development time (ADT). We propose that supporting ADT with a full funding mechanism will improve ADT participation at minimal institutional cost. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom 2017 to 2022, our surgery department proposed a full funding mechanism for a post-graduate year three (PGY-3) resident to encourage ADT participation. Residents were required to submit at least two external grants. Annual funding sources and total stipend supplementation was calculated by prevalence of ADT residents.
resultsFrom 2017 to 2022, 30 residents opted to participate in 1-4 years of ADT with increasing prevalence. 5 funding sources were utilized with ∼$530,000 in total annual funding. Departmental contribution was minimal compared to external (9% vs. 91% ($48,102 vs. $485,573, p < 0.001)).
conclusionsWith commitment of full salary supplementation, residents choosing ADT increased at marginal institutional cost, suggesting a solution to combating the declining number of academic surgeons.
